Hi - thanks for the reply. I've just tried the latest nightly build of NAnt and it's still the same unfortunately. I've got the RC3 and latest nightly of NAntContrib to take a look at, so I'll see what's happening there. Otherwise I'll resort to <csc> or <exec> for DevEnv. Cheers, Mike.

Are you using a recent vesion of NAnt? In any event, my initial reaction is to use the <csc> tasks for the compilation. It's conceivable that will be enough, but I just don't know what's typically done for this sort of work. There are a number of other NAnt tasks, as well as NAntContrib tasks that relate to other tools that get invoked by Visual Studio. You may want to do a manual build inside of the VS GUI and check the logs to see exactly what tools are invoked in what order. If everything that VS does has a corresponding NAnt or NAntContrib task, I'd go that way. But if there's something that can't be done directly by a task, then I'd fall back on using an <exec> of devenv. Of course, you might find that the former approach is too much work, and simply use the latter approach.
