When I do a ReadLinesFromFile on a file in MSBUILD and go to output that file again, I get all the text on one line.

We seem to be having an issue when running our deployment project in that, when it compiles, it seems to miss our master pages from the output. Is there any way to 'force' the project to include .master files, either through editing the .wdproj file, or via another method? Also, I've been reading up on the MSBuildTasks community projec...

I overrode the following target in my TFS build file to run various tasks that set up databases, import data, etc., etc. in Visual Studio 2008 - the aim was to stop only the website associated with an application pool on the server instead of stopping the entire W3SVC service on the entire machine (see alternate task for example): <Targ...
I'm using Nightly build 1.3.0.477 of MSBuild Community Tasks and I'm having problem with XmlMassUpdate. Here's what I want to do: for each project, if it does not reference CommonAssemblyInfo.cs file, add that reference. I'm doing it like this: <Message Text="Path is $(MSBuildCommunityTasksPath)" Importance="normal" /> <!---->...
I made a custom task in my TFS build to examine my project's GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs file in order to extract an attribute (AssemblyInformationalVersion to be exact) in order to use its value in naming a zip file that I make with the build. <UsingTask TaskName="GetAssemblyInformationalVersion.GetAssemblyInformationalVersionTask" ...
I am new to Cruise Control. I'm running a project where I use an MSBuild file to build my project. I'm using the NUNit task in the MSBuild Community Tasks project to run all of my unit tests and output an xml file with the test results with this command: <NUnit Assemblies="@(OutputFiles)" WorkingDirectory="$(UnitTestResultsLocation)" ...
I have found that creating a zip file using the Zip task provided by MSBuild Community Tasks changes (or rather, deletes) any file attributes of the files being zipped. Here is one of my calls to the Attrib task to make DLLs inside a folder have the read-only attribute: <Attrib ReadOnly="true" Normal="true" Files="@(DLLsToReadOnly)" /> ...
I'm having an issue with the Attrib task from the MSBuild Community Tasks Project when running on a 64 bit build machine.

Here's what I'm trying to achieve. I have a number of projects in C# and VB which I wish to export as template projects as part of my automated build process. Exporting templates is easy to do interactively, but I need to do it as part of my automated build process. Further, the template projects must actually be built prior to exporting...

I’m using a few custom MSBuild tasks that are checked into source control. I would like to import these tasks into my TFSBuild.proj file that TFS uses to build the project. Right now I have created a 2nd project file that includes all of the uses of these custom tasks. I do this because I can run this project file after the workspace has...
I have an XSLT transform that I developed in VS. It works great when I use VS to run it (via XML->Show Xslt Output). However, when I execute it via the MsBuildCommunityTasks Xslt task I get wildly different results. Specifically, the output is only the contents of a handful of elements I don't even reference in my XSLT. I guess the def...
