I have an MSBuild file that manipulates the AssemblyInfo file before the application is compiled. At the end of the build, it restores the AssemblyInfo file. It does this by backing up the file, manipulating it, and then after build time, restoring the file. This works fairly well except when an error occurs during the build. It then...

Most popular is that a string is present in neutral culture resource file, but is not in culture-specific resource file. So, at runtime a neutral string gets loaded (which has been written by a programmer, n...
I'm attempting to create a 3.5 build from a 4.0 set of code. It almost works the following msbuild options: /tv:3.5 /p:targetframeworkversion=v3.5. The issue is that I get a conflict for those classes that have moved to new assemblies in 4.0, for example: error CS0433: The type 'System.Web.Security.RoleProvider' exists in both 'c:\Win...

But in step 2 I ta...

This is my first dive into MSBuild so I'm feeling pretty lost. The end goal is to run an executable which will output a file, and we want the output of the build to be that file. In this build there is no VS project what so ever. The build is being run by TFS build services. At this point all I'm trying to do is generate a file and...
