I thought we discussed it and decided that case sensivity is ok for attribute values just not for attribute names. In addition we are using some built in .net framework enums whose case we cannot control.

Hi,
About a week ago, I sumbitted a patch which allowed case-insensitive lookup of enum values in task attributes. I didn't get any feedback, so I don't know whether it has been commited or rejected. Can someone shed some light over this?
The patch & original message are attached.
Best,
Arjen

Subject: Patch: Case insensitive enum value lookups
Hi,
The attached patch for Element.cs allows case-insensitive lookup of enumeration values in the build file.
A number of tasks use an enum to specify a closed set of task parameters. For instance, the foreach task uses the LoopItem enum to specify the type of iteration that should be done. Without the patch, these parameters had to be specified with the exact casing used in the enumeration. The attached patch fixes this, and allows one to specify these parameters with any casing. I would prefer to allow only lower case, just like any other task attribute, but there is no simple way to do that without actually changing the enum definitions.
Cheers,
Arjen
