This may not be the right place for this, but I can't find an MSBuild =
NG, so here goes...

I'm trying to understand why this particular condition is placed in my =
build files:

">Debug

Is it there just in case of user stupidity? How would you set your =
configuration to an empty string in the first place? And, if you could, =
why would you?

Thanks.

RE: MSBuild

Hi Scott,

The statement's purpose is to set a default value for the property
"Configuration" if it's not explicitly set by user. Therefore if you didn't
specify "/p:Configuration=Debug" on the command line, it will have the
value "Debug" by default.

Note the condition attribute could be either specified on a PropertyGroup
node or a single property node:


Debug
AnyCPU
8.0.50727
2.0
2a7074be-72dd-4b92-9d44-eb6023010ec7
Exe
Properties
ConsoleApplication1
ConsoleApplication1


true
full
false
bin\Debug\
DEBUG;TRACE
prompt
4



In above file, the first ProjectGroup node is defining several common
properties and only the property "Configuration" has default value "Debug"
specified. The second ProjectGroup node has a condition which uses the
Configuration and Platform properties to determine if its enclosed
properties such as "DebugSymbols", "DebugType" should have which values.

Hope this helps.

Re: MSBuild

Hi Walter,

Thanks for your reply and yes, it does answer my question. I guess I wasn't
thinking about non-IDE development when I posted.

Re: MSBuild

Hi Scott,

Thanks very much for your follow-up.

By the way, I just noticed an old post of yours two months ago seems not
captured by our internal tool and we have missed it:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/default.aspx?dg =microsoft.publi
c.dotnet.framework.aspnet&tid=8f814feb-b5d9-4d36-9e02-df4226 cb67f9&m=1&p=1

We're sorry for this.

If you still need to work on it, please feel free to let me know. I will
try my best to help.

Re: MSBuild

Thanks Walter. I am all set on that older issue you mentioned, but I do
have 2 unanswered posts in the "microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet"
from 11/12 that I'd like to get closure on.

Re: MSBuild

Hi Scott,

I've found those two posts you mentioned. I've informed my colleague to
handle them shortly.

By the way, those two posts were posted using "s-mar@nospam.nospam" instead
of your register nospam posting alias "smar@nospam.nospam", that's why they
haven't been recogonized by our internal tool.

Please feel free to email me directly if you think any of your managed
posts are left unhandled.

Thanks for using MSDN Managed Newsgroup Support Service!

Re: MSBuild

Thanks Walter! Now it makes sense why posts I've made on my laptop get
answered but posts from my desktop don't! I'll update my desktop's account
settings.
