Hello Matthew, when you add existing file to the project (in VS.NET), in the open dialog the "Open" button has an arrow on the right side. By clicking on this arrow you activate the popup menu in which you can choose "Link". In that case the file is not copied, in the project the xml attribute Link appears. E.g.: <File RelPath = "..\VersionInfo.cs" Link = "..\VersionInfo.cs" BuildAction = "Compile" />
Surely, it is a greate example of non-intuitive UI :-) MM> Viehland, Kirk wrote: >> Nant developers, >> >> I am getting this error when I compile a VS.Net 2003 solution with an >> ProductInfo file that has been linked from a parent directory.
