Figured out the answer to my own question. Have to assign the variable to an
intermediate one. Working snippet:
<property name="intermediate" value="${nant.project.basedir}" />
<nant
buildfile="..\..\..\common-build-files\modify.file.build"
target="source.reformat">
<properties>
<property
name="parameter.directory"
value="${intermediate}\MySource.cs" />
</properties>
</nant>

Subject: [Nant-users] <nant> and <properties> help needed.
I'm trying to pass a property to a build file invoked by the nant task.
<nant buildfile="..\..\..\common-build-files\modify.file.build"
target="source.reformat">
<properties>
<property
name="parameter.directory"
value="${nant.project.basedir}\MySource.cs" />
</properties>
</nant>
I want to pass in the full path to MySource.cs, which is in the directory of
the current build file. The problem is, as the help on the <nant> task
plainly states, "value" is NOT expanded by default, so
${nant.project.basedir} is passed TEXTUALLY to the called build file, which
proceeds to expand the variable to its OWN basedir. Is there a way to force
the value to be expanded in the current build file? If not, any suggestions
for a work-around for this?
Running NAnt 0.84, .Net Framework 1.1.
