问题 Sometimes my build fail with this error. 0>MSBUILD : error MSB4166: Child node "3" exited prematurely. Shutting down. It seems to be completely random and I've not been able to reproduce it at will. I'm running VS2010 Win7 x64 MSBuild 4.0 but this problem seems to be platform and OS independent. I'm building solutions in parallel (/m switch + BuildInParallel=True) and I don't want to disable this feature because I'm compiling application containing 800+ projects . Any idea how to solve it?

I want to copy my dll generated in bin folder to a file location on Post Build Event in vs2010. Can some one help me on that.

How to debug a project file in MSBuild 12.0 / VS2013?

阅读更多关于 How to debug a project file in MSBuild 12.0 / VS2013?

问题 Tracing a project was easy in MSBuild 4.0 / VS2010, all you had to do was set registry key which enabled an msbuild /debug command line option. The debugger would launch and break at the start of the project file. MSBuild 12 introduces a new environment variable for this. At the command prompt, set MSBUILDDEBUGONSTART=1 and then run MSBuild (no command line switch). This launches the debugger, but does no break . The project just runs to completion with VS open. Am I missing a setting? Or has

Build MSBuild target without dependencies

问题 Is there any way I can tell MSBuild 4.0 to build a target, but ignore any dependencies? I just want to build that target itself, nothing else. 回答1: I would like to reiterate @EMP's solution (and I can't vote him up due to my puny reputation). The correct way to avoid MSBuild's default behavior of rebuilding all the dependencies listed in the project file is to set the BuildProjectReferences property to false. In his answer he invokes MSBuild from within an MSBuild script; here's an example

问题 I am trying to use WriteCodeFragment MSBuild task to create AssemblyVersion attribute. I'm having a a problem creating a property group to correctly pass the ITaskItem array required for processing. Can someone help with an example. 回答1: This creates a file called BuildVersion.cs with an AssemblyVersion attribute of 123.123.123.123 . If OutputFile is removed then a randomly generated file name will be used instead. The Compile item name automatically adds the item to the Compile items
