msbuild-15

I'm attempting to programmatically build a project which uses C#7, and therefore MSBuild 15, but this task is failing seemingly because of mismatched assembly references. Here is my code: string projectFilePath = Path.Combine(args.Any() ? args.First() :@"C:\Users\newsoni\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\ConsoleApp2\ConsoleApp2.sln"); ProjectCollection pc = new ProjectCollection(); Dictionary<string, string> globalProperty = new Dictionary<string, string>(); globalProperty.Add("Configuration", "Debug"); globalProperty.Add("Platform", "x86"); BuildParameters bp = new BuildParameters(pc); bp

I have a code generator tool that I partially own, and now that csproj files can list multiple Target Frameworks in them and building builds all of them, I am trying to figure out how to make an MSBuild Target to do the code generation only once per running the build, no matter how many Target Frameworks are listed, and have the compiling for each of the Target Frameworks wait until the code generation has completed. I currently have it conditional on a specific value of TargetFramework. For example, Condition="'netstandard2.0' == '$(TargetFramework)'" . This avoids the code generation tool

MSBuild 14.0 (the version included with Visual Studio 2015) logs warnings (MSB4078) when building a solution which contains SSDT projects (rptproj or dwproj projects). For example: warning MSB4078: The project file "Reports.rptproj" is not supported by MSBuild and cannot be built. This is fine, MSBuild does not support SSDT projects, and we have to fall back to building them with Visual Studio (i.e. devenv.com ). See, for example, this answer . When using MSBuild 15.0 (the version included with Visual Studio 2017), however, building the same solution file gives the following error : Reports
