NAnt + VS2008 csproj annoying thing

Ok, so you have an automated script for building your system… yes?

You decide to plug in in another your c# projects created by Visual Studio 2008 and run them via msbuild task and then it brakes… MSBuild tells you that it can’t find c# targets.

You go to your project file and see that it actually uses now a new property for setting up the tools path which obviously NAnt (or the community contrib task MSBuild) cannot resolve:

<Import Project=”$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets” />

The fix is actually quite easy, but still it annoyes me

Change the above to the old version:

<Import Project=”$(MSBuildBinPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets” />

And it works like a charm! only it annoyes me

Hope this helps someone!

Cheers!
