Passing properties to projects specifically when you want to pass different sets of properties to different projects listed in the same item has always been challenging. To achieve this is Visual Studio 2005 you would have to breaken-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/msbuild/archive/2007/07/17/properties-and-additionalproperties-metadata-for-items-used-in-msbuild-task-s.aspx#4615184Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:28:39 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4615184Eric<p>This is a great feature, but will it only apply to the projects specified in the MSBuild task?</p> <p>The problem I always have is trying to set specific properties for an individual project within a solution I'm compiling with the MSBuild task. (Or getting out the list of the output files for a specific project, for that matter).</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/msbuild/archive/2007/07/17/properties-and-additionalproperties-metadata-for-items-used-in-msbuild-task-s.aspx#4787063Thu, 06 Sep 2007 16:55:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4787063Jay Shrestha<p>This only applies to projects specified in the MSBuild task. Eventually solutions are converted to msbuild project file before processing them but I cannot think of a way where we can specify this in solution files.</p> <p>As forbeing able to get a list of the output files for a specific project, you can use the target's Output attribute. For instance if you output the output of the compile target then you can use TargetOutputs property of the msbuild task to get that output.</p> <p>If you need an example please let me know and I can help out.</p> <p>Jay Shrestha</p> <p>(Jaysh@microsoft.com)</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/msbuild/archive/2007/07/17/properties-and-additionalproperties-metadata-for-items-used-in-msbuild-task-s.aspx#6126293Mon, 12 Nov 2007 07:06:16 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:6126293John Robbins' Blog<p>Earlier this week, I spent some quality time porting a moderately complicated build over to MSBUILD 3.5,</p>
