Summary: solution target and vcproj support for custom build steps

Initial Comment:
When you have a vc project with a custom build step 
specified, the custom build step is not executed as 
would normally occur if you run the build from the 
Development environment.

I tested this on Visual Studio 2003.

Attached is a project that can be used to reproduce the 
issue.

This project should run the following command.

echo This is a custom build step > buildoutput.txt

to produce a build output of buildoutput.txt

Custom build steps can also have input files.

In this case the input file is input.txt.

Download the example and build midltest.build to 
reproduce the issue.

Just wanted to ask, whether there is any progress for this
bug. At the moment the solution-task is the only advantage
of nant over ant (as far i am concerned). So this is a
blocker for me...

nevertheless for a version 0.85 nant look really great.

I too have a .vcproj file with a custom build step that could 
benefit from this.

Heya Guys,

Just adding my request for this feature - it's a show
stopper for me for the solution task (forcing me to instead
use exec/devenv).

Also, don't forget that not just projects can have custom
build steps - so can individual _files_.

Thanks,
Matt

I recently did some refactoring that should allow us to 
implement a fix for this issue. But I didn't yet have time for it.

I did implement support for project-level build events, though.

I'll let you know when something hits cvs (and the nightly 
builds).

I have seen no action on this.  Just wondering if anything has 
been done with it.

Tom,

I've asked Simon if he can have a look at this issue, but I 
can't promise anything right now.

I have seen lots of activity with vcproj issues, is anyone 
looking at this issue?
