Latest Documentation (CHM) | Latest Documentation (Html) | Nightly Bits

This project was one affected by the outage that recently happened on codeplex. I will check in the latest code ASAP. Until then, you can get the latest from here

The aim of this project is to create a large collection of MSBuild tasks that can be used to perform actions to further automate the build process.

Tasks

MakeHttpRequest

Sandcastle

GenerateDocumentation

Support for NDoc NamespaceDoc class
Support for ProjectDoc class. Works like NamespaceDoc class except the information is used for the project page.
Generate documentation for your assemblies by calling 1 task
Support generation of a Table of Contents for viewing documentation via web browser.
Build Documentation in CHM format
Syntax highlighter for <code> blocks
Supports Prototype and VS2005 documentation Styles
Supports Friendly and Guid File names
Automatically Clean Sandcastle generated files (reflection.xml, sandcastle.config)
Automatically delete the generated html files.
Configurable Reference Link Resolving (None, Local, MSDN, Index)

Strings

WixAddFilesToComponent

CREATED ISSUE: Source Code Container larger then visible area in Firefox

camalot — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:17:46 GMT

The syntax highlighted source code container is partially cut off when viewing file in FireFox

CREATED ISSUE: HTML TOC fails if Guid file names are used

camalot — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:17:45 GMT

The TOC can not find the files if Guid names are used

CREATED TASK: Incorrect License loaded in Wix

camalot — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:17:44 GMT

Wix script is not loading the correct license.rtf

CREATED ISSUE: Html Toc doesn't work correctly in IE

camalot — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:16:14 GMT

In IE7, the toc items when expanded and if the name of the item is wider then the size of the frame then the icon disappears.

CREATED TASK: Add GenerateHtmlToc option to DocumentationGeneration Task

camalot — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:16:13 GMT

Currently, if the ReflectionToHtmlTocTransform is set then the step will be performed. This should be set to a default to the file that is included. Instead, there should be a property to specify if the step should be performed and then an option to change the location of the transform xsl.

UPDATED WIKI: WixAddFilesToComponent

camalot — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 19:15:57 GMT

Provides a way to dynamically generate file elements in a component defined in a Wix file.

Example Usage:

<WixAddFilesToComponent Files="@(ScriptFiles)" 
    XPath="$(JsBaseXPath)" NamespaceURI="$(Namespace)" 
    Namespaces="$(NamespaceManager)" XmlFile="$(WixFile)" />

Attribute	Description	Required	Type	Direction
XmlFile	The file to make the changes to	True	String	Input
XPath	The XPath to find the component to add the files to	True	String	Input
NamespaceURI	The default namespace. This is set to http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi by default.	False	String	Input
Namespaces	A string array of prefix:namespace strings.	False	String[]	Input
Files	An array of files to add.	True	String[]	Input
Compressed	Indicates if the files should be marked compressed	False	Boolean	Input
Disk	The disk id to assign the files to	True	Integer	Input
KeyPath	Indicates if the files should be marked as a KeyPath	False	Boolean	Input
Vital	Indicates if the files should be marked as Vital	False	Boolean	Input
Hidden	Indicates if the files should be marked as Hidden	False	Boolean	Input
SystemFile	Indicates if the files should be marked as system files	False	Boolean	Input
ReadOnly	Indicates if the files should be marked as readonly	False	Boolean	Input

Note: Namespaces contains "wix:http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" by default. Since the document has a default namespace, the "wix" prefix is used to perform an XPath Query.

Here is an example XPath query to pass to this task to find the component.

 //wix:Component[@Guid='$(MyComponentGuid)']
