MSBuild. Please, need help ...

shapper

Hello,

I am working on an ASP.MET MVC Web Application with NET 3.5 in VS
2008.

I need to run some extra tasks on this project build so I download
MSBuild from http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org/.

I installed it but no new project type shows in my VS 2008.

I then found the following template:
http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpre...late-v2-0.aspx

I am not sure if this is the right one ...

However, I don't know how to use it:

1. I don't know how to say to my "Build" project that the target
project is my MVC application

2. I am not sure how can I get the original XML file that builds my
MVC application.
I know that to add my extra tasks I should use this file ... I
think.

Anyway, could someone, please, help me out in making this work?

Thank You,
Miguel

Hi,

I just multiposted because I am not sure what is the best place to
discuss this issue ... I was looking for a MSBuild group but didn't
find it.

I read your answer and answered back but your solution does not seem
to solve my problem ... I was looking to use a MSBuild tasks project.

Please, see my answer for details.

Thanks,
Miguel

Then you need to cross post (within a reasonable limit)
