Since NAnt seems to be using the same parser for its own build file as for VS project files (indeed for XML files in general), the approach below hardly going to work...
And as a consequence of this, since <replacestring ...> can't handle arbitrary text files (unless there IS a way to escape special chars), i've written a Perl script to clean the VS project files before i hand them over to NAnt <solution>.

This is an unexpected token. The expected token is 'SEMICOLON'. Line 436, position 36. Is there a way in Nant that I can escape the "raw" ampersand in the string ?

I may be able to use this as a patch until MS fixes the VS.NET XML generation; It seems to be localized to WebReferenceUrl definitions. Thanks for the advice!

There isn't an easy fix available, since we can't even load the XML! ________________________________________________________________________ Nielsen.Allan Rene Dystrup AND wrote: > I have this task in my Nant build file : > > <solution > configuration="debug" > solutionfile="C:\projects\KMD.NI\KMD.NI.SdpiEws\KMD.NI.SdpiEws.sln" > verbose="true" > > > <webmap> > ... etc ... > </webmap> > </solution> > > In a project file : KMD.NI.SdpiEws.TestUtilities.csproj VS.Net has > defined the following setup : > <Folder > RelPath = "Web References\ny510Ref\" > WebReferenceUrl = > "http://wsswlbs-wm1q2003.kmd.dk/wsdl/composite.ashx?class=Cics&services= NY51000" > UrlBehavior = "Static" > /> > > Running this the above NAnt <Solution> i get: > [solution] Loading referenced project 'C:\projects\KMD.NI\KMD.NI.SdpiEws\KMD.NI.SdpiEws.Utilities\KMD.NI.SdpiE ws.Utilities.csproj'. > BUILD FAILED > Error loading project 'C:\projects\KMD.NI\KMD.NI.SdpiEws\KMD.NI.SdpiEws.Utilities\KMD.NI.SdpiE ws.Utilities.csproj'. > This is an unexpected token.
