hello everyone,

Im having some issues compiling an old VB 2008 project on MSBuild and RTC, if i use devenv.exe to compile the result is alright but i cant import properties to call ANT task for zipping and publishing the zip link to the build result.

There is any tutorial for compiling with deven.exe?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
I'm not a VS expert. But I did a quick search. Per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4192407/passing-msbuild-options-when-calling-devenv, if you are using devenv.exe, you can not use "/property" but need to use environment variable.
Other than that, I can not find an article in jazz.net particularly for devenv compiler.
