Do you know when MSBuild will be fully documented?
I need to learn every feature of MSBuild: on internet I found only simple tutorials.
Is there a Forum on MSBuild?

Thanks,
Lorenzo.

Lorenzo,

Check this particular link for a fairly thorough collection of links and resources on MSBuild:

http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/MSBuild.MSBuildLinks

Let me know if this isn't what you're looking for. Also, feel free to ping me for any particular questions you may have.

Where do you guys actually want this feedback sent? Do we post this on Ladybug or use the feedback link on the bottom of the page?

Thanks Jeff,
but I have already seen it and I found it very interesting. The problem is that I'm working with Visual Studio 2005 beta 1 with MSBuild 2.0! Most documentation is in the MSBuild 1.0 format (so I can't test the code into my machine).
I need the official documentation.

David,
the msdn page linked in my original post has a mechanism for feedback right on the page. You can rate the content and provide comments. I know our doc guy will get this feedback and find it useful when preparing beta2/rtm docs. Additionally, you are free to send the msbuild team mail at msbuild@microsoft.com.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Jeff.

I found a very interesting site:

It contains a lot of tasks for MSBuild 2.0!
