Since I wrote that article, I've changed the stylesheet to allow one to pass
additional references, as well as source or content files, to include or exclude as
parameters to the stylesheet. This has been really effective in getting our build
process totally automated - now I just run the build and never touch the generated
build files.
For example, if you've defined a parameter $includes-bin, you can add to your
references like so:
<xsl:template match="References">
<references>
<xsl:call-template name="process-list">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="$includes-bin"/>
<xsl:with-param name="type" select="'includes'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</references>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="process-list">
<xsl:param name="list"/>
<xsl:param name="type"/>
<xsl:variable name="first" select="normalize-space(substring-before($list,';'))"/>
<xsl:variable name="rest" select="normalize-space(substring-after($list,';'))"/>
<xsl:if test="$first">
<xsl:element name="{$type}" >
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="$first"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$rest" >
<xsl:call-template name="process-list">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="$rest"/>
<xsl:with-param name="type" select="$type"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
You'd invoke the style like this, using a semicolon delimited list of libraries you
want to link in:
<property name="includes-bin" value="${dir.lib}\foo.dll;${dir.lib}\bar.dll;"/>
<style in="projX\$projX.csproj" basedir="projX" out="projX\ProjX.build"
destdir="projX" extension="build" style="${nant.project.basedir}\vsconvert.xsl"
verbose="true">
<param name="includes-bin" expression="${includes-bin}"/>
</style>
