When specifying your properties in the <nant> task, you should mark them as readonly="true" if you want to prevent their value to be change by your child build file.

I have individual build files that are connected together via a master.build file and when I pass properties in to override the local properties from the master.build, the values are not overriding. Using the attached sample, I expect a "nant -buildfile:test.build" to echo "c:\projects", however when I use "nant -buildfile:master.build" I expect a "d:\projects" from the echo, but I still recieve a "c:\projects"... am I missing something???
test.build: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <project name="nant" default="build" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/nant-0.84.xsd";> <property name="projects.base" value="c:\projects" /> <!-- project folder root -->
<!-- builds the application -->
<target name="build">
<echo message="projects.base=${projects.base}" />
</target>
</project>master.build: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <project name="nant" default="build" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/nant-0.84.xsd";> <!-- Global properties of the build, passed to each file overriding their values. --> <property name="projects.base" value="d:\projects" /> <!-- project folder root -->
<target name="build">
<nant buildfile="test.build" target="build">
<properties>
<property name="projects.base" value="${projects.base}" />
</properties>
</nant>
</target>
