Here is my build script: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/> <PropertyGroup> <!-- Path where the solution file is located (.sln) --> <ProjectPath>W:\Demo</ProjectPath> <!-- Location of compiled files --> <DebugPath>W:\Demo\bin\Debug</DebugPath> <ReleasePath>W:\Demo\bin\Release</ReleasePath> <!-- Name of the solution to be compiled without the .sln extension --> <ProjectSolutionName>DemoTool</ProjectSolutionName> <!-- Path

Effectively I am trying to work around the documented behaviour of imported projects: All relative paths in imported projects are interpreted relative to the directory of the imported project. Therefore, if a project file is

When I do a ReadLinesFromFile on a file in MSBUILD and go to output that file again, I get all the text on one line. All the Carriage returns and LineFeeds are stripped out. <Project DefaultTargets = "Deploy" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" > <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/> <ItemGroup> <MyTextFile Include="$(ReleaseNotesDir)$(NewBuildNumber).txt"/> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="ReadReleaseNotes"> <ReadLinesFromFile File="@(MyTextFile)" > <Output TaskParameter="Lines" ItemName="ReleaseNoteItems"/> <
