Re: [NAnt-users] "Error loading GUID..." when using <solution> taskforVS2005

Thanks for the advise :)

When the new release came
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.85/releasenotes.html) i thought
that the <solution> task was supported for the VS 2005 format but a
closer look at the documentation told me otherwise.
I think i will use the <csc> task until the <solution> task handles VS
2005 project files

I don't know what to tell you.  I've told you two different ways to
build VS 2005 solutions.  For VS 2003 solutions, you continue to use the
<solution> task.  But for VS 2005 solutions use either the <exec> task
to run msbuild.exe or the <msbuild> task from the NAntContrib package.
When using the latter , make sure that the environment is set up for
.NET 2.0 development (VS 2005 command prompt).  My advice is to play
around with the two possible ways and see what works best for you.

Another alternative is to switch your build system entirely to MSBuild
which shouldn't be too difficult because MSBuild is very similar to
NAnt.

	Hello Arnette,
	=20
	                     I was compiling on VS 2005. But the
component was built in VS 2003. The nant wont work for new VS 2005 files
or for what files its not going to compile. Please let me know. Because
I have installed VS 2005 on my machine and also VS 2003 is also
available on my machine. When I tried to compile with the xml which I
was having previously it was executed and compiled properly. I dont have
any new code for VS 2005 yet. But the development has started in VS
2005. So, now what is going to happen. Will my NANT work once I shift
completely to VS 2005. Please let me know Sir.=20
	=20
	Please.

	Regards,
	Kumar

			MSBuild is in .NET 2.0 *only*.   It will not
work with VS 2003 solutions, only VS 2005 solutions.  You need to run
your Nant script in a VS 2005 command prompt. =20

				You have to install NantContrib.
easiest way is to download the NantContrib binary package (see the URL
in the mail below) and copy the DLLs into the Nant\bin directory. =20
				=20
				Otherwise use the <exec> task like I
showed you before.

				You are still using NAnt to drive the
build, but msbuild is actually
				compiling the .Net project.

				I see that NAntContrib [1] has an
<msbuild> task [2] that you would use
				instead of the <solution> task or the
<exec> task.

				So, after installing NAntContrib, you
could do:
