A problem that comes up over and over again (see forums posts here , here , etc.) with Team Build v1 is that it is very difficult to compile individual solutions and/or individual projects within a solution into their own output directories. I did a post Read More...
Gautam Goenka posted an article on this topic way back on April 20, 2006. It included a targets file which overrode the standard Team Build CoreCompile target and allowed user-specified properties to be passed into the MSBuild tast that Team Build uses Read More...
