Hi Dave,
1/The syntax to call the value of property is ${prop.name}
So your code should look like this
<target nme ="xx" if="${autoBuild}">
2/ to execute special task if the build failed or suceeded just set the following two properties
nant.onsucces & nant.failure
The value is the name of the target that must be executed
<property name='nant.onsuccess' value='onsuccess'/>
<property name='nant.failure' value='onfailure'/>
<target name='onsuccess'>
<echo message="You win"/>
</target>
<target name='onfailure'>
<echo message="You loose"/>
</target>
Hope this helps
Yves
