Ian,
Thanks for your response but i'm not quite there yet.
I see lots of nant tasks that support the "if" attribute, but I have a hard time finding documentation and/or examples on how to use it.
Then there's this page: http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/tasks/if.html that explains the "if" task. Not exactly what I am looking for since I want to use the "if" _attribute_.
However, it doesn't mention how to test a property for a certain value, which is what I want to do. The only examples are 'does propery exist?', 'does property equal true?' and some filesystem checks.
At the bottom of the page it says "Tests the value of a property using expressions." but the example is not there.
As for your proposed solution, I can't check it right now but I don't see how "" can return true for ${mySwitch} being "on" and return false for any other va!
lue.

take a look at the if attribute on . See the docs at:
http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/tasks/copy.html
somthing like :
....
Should do the trick
