<ProjectReference Include=".\BusinessLayer\BusinessLayer1.csproj"
/>
<ProjectReference Include="..\GUILayer\GUILayer1.csproj" />
<ProjectReference

<MakeDir Directories="$(OutputPath)" />
</Target>

</Target>



but it not compile,just delete and cretae a directory, and i dont have
any errors!


thks for help in advance
 
I don't think you want to use projectreference for this, msbuild treats those
items specially, instead have your item group use
<ItemGroup>
<ProjFile
Include="..\DataAccessLayer\DataAccessLayer1.csproj" />
<ProjFile Include=".\BusinessLayer\BusinessLayer1.csproj"
/>
<ProjFile Include="..\GUILayer\GUILayer1.csproj" />
<ProjFile
Include="..\SecurityProject\SecurityProject1.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>
Click to expand...

and maybe include a Message task in your step to print out the value of
@(ProjFile) so you can make sure that your paths are correct.
