This causes the build to dir horribly with a mysterious "null reference exception". The .csproj files that caused this were all generated by VS.Net, so this param probably needs to be checked before use. I would suggest just defaulting to "Compile" and displaying a strong warning. I have made this particular change to my source tree and it seems to work fine: if( null != elemFile.Attributes[ "BuildAction" ] ) { buildAction = elemFile.Attributes [ "BuildAction" ].Value; } else { Log( Level.Error, string.Format( "Invalid or empty BuildAction for file: {0}", elemFile.Attributes [ "RelPath" ] ) ); } This happens to many (> 25%) of our projects, and we only use VS.NET 2003 and never hand-modify (or merge) project files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2005-10-08 09:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 This is now fixed in cvs. We do not output a warning yet. Not sure if we should do this if VS.NET frequently messes up project files like this.
