Ant task to build VS.Net project file

           Summary: Ant task to build VS.Net project file
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: matt@penning.com


VS.Net project files, like the .csproj file, are XML files describing how to
build a .Net project. They are created and maintained by Visual Studio.NET.

I would like an Ant task to build using a .csproj file but *without* requiring
VS.Net to be installed.

With this kind of task you can have the best of both worlds - VS.Net to manage
your C# project, and Ant to do the build, test, etc. And anyone can run this
*without* having to have VS.Net installed - only the .Net framework would be
required.

!! I have a rudimentary version of this working if anyone is interested !!

I achieved this by creating a Freemarker template to convert a .csproj file into
an ant file (build.xml). It's not 100%, but it works great for my own simple
projects at least.

If anyone is interested I can send on what I have.
