Converting .csproj to MSBUILD using .NET SDK

Hello All,

I'am writing a batch converter which will convert all the old .csproj files
of earlier version of .NET to .NET 2.0 . I dont have Visual Studio 2005. So
to convert programatically I need that assembly
Microsoft.Build .Conversion.dll . But with the .NET SDK v2.0.40607 I don't
find the .dll file under $ROOT\WINDOWS\M icrosoft.NET\Fr amework\v2.0.40 607 . I
heard that this assembly is used by Visual Studio for conversion, why is
this assembly not shipped with the SDK? is there any official place from
which I could download this assembly?

And I don't know why microsoft made MSBUILD without backward compatability
of .csproj files in mind?
Looking forward to hear from you.

With Best Regards
Vamsi

In the course of investigating differences between C# projects generated in VS2003 vs VS2005 (see my post about reformatting code), I've found big differences in the .csproj file. I haven't gone through the files to correlate with compile settings, but at first glance it looks like there is much more info in the ..csproj file than in project->properties menus. Does anyone have info on the format, and on how it meshes with project...

I need to create a large number of VS 2005 .csproj files from an equal number of VS 2003 .csproj files so that I can use msbuild with MSBee to build .NET 1.1 software. My question, is there a command line utility that can be scripted that would take as input a vs 2003 .csproj file and make a vs 2005 .csproj file with a different file name? I want to keep the orinals around for backward compatability, at least for the short term. Does...

Hi I am trying to parse the CSProj file the header has xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> which I think forces it to a dataset when I read it in as a xmldocument The section below ends up being a Table "EmbeddedResource" and I get an ItemArray of the values but they seem positional to how it is built

I am having a problem getting Import Project to work in my csproj file. I have a number of C# projects and I'd like to have easy control over the folder that they are built to. In other words, I want all the .exe files to be put in the same folder after the build. Additionally, I want the guy down the hall to be able to easily choose a different folder for the .exe files. I have done the following:

I'm using FinalBuilder to automate our builds. We've had it working with VS2003 for a long time, now we're upgrading to VS2005 (I'm aware that 2008 is out now. Geroffit.) I'm trying to extract the OutputPath from the appropriate PropertyGroup (Debug/Release) in the csproj using XPATH. I've discovered after much trial and error, and many inventive curses, that it works as long as I remove the xmlns clause from the Project node at the...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
