MSBuild exec task, exit code empty

Question

I have the following exec task, performing checkin of assemblyinfo.cs files. I\'m trying to return the exit code, but for some reason it is always empty.

Answer 1

In general it works as you have shown.

For reference, here is a more "selfcontained" example:

A couple of things you may want to consider however:

• Make sure your Exec even executes, that is Condition evaluates to True.

• Output the ErrorCode property using the Message-Task, to see if it is actually set (to the value you expect). However, make sure MSBuild will show the output, by either using Importance='high' or by running msbuild.exe /v:d to enable detailed messages.
