Going from to in NAnt

Question

I\'ve converted my app from .NET 1.1 to .NET 3.5 and unfortunately NAnt\'s tag does not support .NET 3.5. So I am trying to use the tag to kick off msbuild directly.

Answer 1

I have doing configuration management with Nant and CC.Net for a while now. I my experience I would not recommed using the Nant MSBuild task, instead the easiest way is creating and task, create a .bat file that the task executes. There are several reasons that would recommend using the command line Visual Studio, for one MSI packages are not easily build with Nant, even if you use contrib. Its just way easier and a lot faster this way.
