From
what I can tell, no.  It really is very strange… it only seems to happen
for VERY small projects.  My other 4 projects that are over 80k are all fine. 
It is just the projects (I converted another one now as well) that are really
small… 1k AssemblyInfo, 2k Class file that have this problem.

Assuming

Hey everyone,

 

I just recently converted a Visual Studio project to use
Nant.  The file has only two VERY simply CS files (AssemblyInfo + 1 code
file) and there are no external dependencies.

 

When I compile the DLL in VS, the file size is 20k…
when I compile the same code in Nant the file is 7k.

 

Debug, trace, optimization settings are all identical
between VS and Nant.  The files are identical.

 

Does anybody have any idea what may be going on?

Title: Re: [Nant-users] NunitReport or NUnit2Report task with Nant 0.85RC3?






Hmmm... Good point.

I modified the stylesheets in NUnit2Report and used the style task.  Works like a charm.

This approach is better than relying on the NUnit2Report or Nunitreport tasks that have an increased chance of being deprecated and not updated.  Plus, a little more flexible on what I can do with the stylesheets.

One other thought. Do you have a specific application 
icon? If not, perhaps Visual Studio is adding in the default application icon 
resource, but NAnt isn't? I wouldn't expect that to be 13K worth, but it could 
be a contributing factor.

[Nant-users] NAnt equivalent to Ant's

2005-05-03 Thread Brian Cantoni 
I've been using NAnt for a few weeks and have migrated our 
Win32 app build to it. I'm looking for a way to load a set 
of properties from an external file, similar to Ant's 
 method.

NAnt's  does not allow files as a source, so I'm 
curious what others have done for this type of solution?

Ant seems to be able to read files like this:
  # comment
  Property1=Value1
  Property2=Value2
  etc.
It seems that creating a custom task or script would work. 
Does anyone have an example they'd care to share?

thanks,
brian

Re: [Nant-users] NAnt equivalent to Ant's

2005-05-03 Thread Merrill Cornish 
Brian,

You can create a NAnt script that contains only  statements rather 
than targets.  Then you can use an  task in another NAnt script to 
call the properties-only script.  All of the properties in the properties-only 
script will then be defined in the calling script.

The effect is about the same as the Ant properties file, but the syntax is 
different.

Merrill

RE: [Nant-users] File sizes

2005-05-03 Thread Ray Johnson 

This may be due to code optimization settings.  We have seen this as well
where the "default" optimizations (and thus some of the compiler flags) are
different between Nant and different versions of VS.Net.

We worked around this my explicitly setting the use of certain flags in
VS.Net.  We did this by setting it to something else and then changing it
back.  This in turn forces the appropriate attribute to be written in the
project file which will force Nant not to use a default value but use the
set value.

Wow!! If that really is the cause then I'm amazed! Whatever Nant uses as

[Nant-users] RE: NAnt equivalent to Ant's

2005-05-03 Thread McKenna, Simon (RGH) 
Hi Brian,

Firstly, thank you for you posting in plain text!
(I get this list in digest form and most people
seem ignorant of how much HTML crud they send)

-> NAnt's  does not allow files as a source, so I'm 
-> curious what others have done for this type of solution?

I had the same issue and ended up using an XML format to
store properties, then use the xmlpeek task to read, e.g.



Not exactly the same, but the outcome is, and of course
you can use xmlpoke to write.

peace

Nope... its C#.

BTW - Both code bases (small and large) function normally.

Then I guess the best way to proceed is packaging up a small repro for this.

Hi Brian,

You need to use the  task.  Your properties file must contain a
 definition e.g.





and save as properties.build.

Then in another file build file you can use:

Subject: [Nant-users] NAnt equivalent to Ant's 

I've been using NAnt for a few weeks and have migrated our
Win32 app build to it. I'm looking for a way to load a set
of properties from an external file, similar to Ant's
 method.

NAnt's  does not allow files as a source, so I'm
curious what others have done for this type of solution?

Ant seems to be able to read files like this:

   # comment
   Property1=Value1
   Property2=Value2
   etc.

It seems that creating a custom task or script would work.
Does anyone have an example they'd care to share?

thanks,
brian
