Hello All,
I was facing an issue with VCBuild on Beta1. Today after shifting to .NET
Beta2, it looks like the issue is still not resolved :-(

I have to invoke VCBuild through MSBuild on command prompt. I have
following issue:

Issue:
--------
MSBuild can invoke VCBuild internally. However it invokes VCBuild without
passing any config options. Only the target, Rebuild or clean options are
passed. The Debug or Release options are not, hence always both
configurations are built for any assembly.
For instance a command like:

prompt> msbuild abc.sln /t:rebuild /p:config=debug
will internally invoke
prompt> vcbuild abc.sln /rebuild

would build both release and Debug. We do not want that!!

Note: We do not have any project to project references in the vcproj. Also
we want to use MSBuild for building all our projects...

Could someone help...Please...

Regards
Uma


Even this does not work, when msbuild invokes
 
After seeing some vcbuild issues online, I've been prototyping a tool that
could convert vcproj files to msbuild files.
Additionally, I've begun creating cl and link msbuild tasks so vcbuild
wouldn't be necessary for simple circumstances.
I'm currently trying to assess how interested people would be in such a
tool. If you are interested, please let me know.
