I got the most recent nightly build (03 May 2004) and the problem had not been fixed in there. It seems to be only a problem with projects that have been converted from VB6 using the VB.Net migration wizard as it is this that inserts the line: DefineConstants = "Win32 = True".

Martin,
Francis was talking about VB.NET projects, and these are definitely supported by the <solution> task.
This issue Francis was talking about is now fixed in cvs.

The Ant way to handle this is to assign a property
<property name="basename" value="HelloWorld" />
then later on your scripts can reference ${basename} and the string value HelloWorld will be substituted in-
The xml parser you are using needs to know what is an end tag, start tag and value delimiters so if you want to use special characters that the parser is already interpreting as predefined meta characters you need to use an escape mechanism such as what is displayed from the XML/HTML cheatsheet http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/text/specialcharacters.html
HTH,
Martin

I've had a problem compiling some VB.Net projects. I debugged the source code and found it was because the VBC is being passed an invalid command line "/define:Win32 = True".See the following protion of my vbproj:
<Config
Name = "Debug"
BaseAddress = "285212672"
ConfigurationOverrideFile = ""
DefineConstants = "Win32 = True"
DefineDebug = "true"
DefineTrace = "true"
DebugSymbols = "true"
IncrementalBuild = "true"
Optimize = "false"
OutputPath = "bin\"
RegisterForComInterop = "false"
RemoveIntegerChecks = "false"
TreatWarningsAsErrors = "false"
WarningLevel = "1"
/>
VBC does not like the spaces. Change it to "/define:Win32=True" and the compilation works.
Thanks.Paul.
