Subject: [nant-dev] verbosity

> use it for all tasks and types) names "verbosity". So code like this is
now

> <xmlpeek refid="x1" xpath="book/author/name" property="authorname"
> verbosity="Error"/>
> or
> <exec program="foo.exe" commandline="1 2 3" failonerror="false"
> vebosity="Debug"/>

> First one suppress any message except errors, second one does opposite -

from

specific
> task.

> public string XmlPeek(string refid,string xpath) {
> XmlPeekTask peek = new XmlPeekTask();
> peek.Verbosity = Level.Warning;
