I am talking devenv command line. The reason is that inter project dependencies and the different compilers involved are taken care of, including Fujitsu's Cobol compiler. In other words, some of our solutions involve Cobol projects that are dependant on VB projects, etc.
I would have thought that the <solution> tag and <project> tag would have transparently used the VS.NET CLI... I see now that they don't and that the process was rebuilt from scratch for VB and C# projects. Now, Fujitsu NETCobol is only available on the Windows platform... and NANT is multi-platform. Implementing a new task for the compiler is one thing, but I would also like to see the Solution and Project tasks handling the compiler as well... Is this something that make sense?

What wasn't clear was your meaning of vs.net CLI. Do you mean calling vs.net itself via devenv.exe or do you mean calling the individual compiler executables ( csc.exe etc ). At a bare minimum you could use the exec task to call either devenv or the cobol command line compiler. For tighter integration you would need to implement a custom task to wrap the compiler. That isn't so hard to and there are plenty of examples in the nant code base if you decide to take that route.
