Question

I am looking for an MSbuild file parser. Currently I have written my own that is not complete… but I feel like I am reinventing the wheel building something that surely exists already.

Some info I have found here… http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/msbuild/thread/b3db4d7c-b7d1-4958-9145-bfd34cc75320

In addition there is a small projects with some highlevel samples: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/msbuildho

using Microsoft.Build.Construction;
using Microsoft.Build.Evaluation;
using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Project testProj = new Project();
        testProj.Xml.AddTarget("BuildProjects");
        foreach (ProjectTargetElement pti in testProj.Xml.Targets.Where(pti => pti.Name == "BuildProjects"))
        {
            pti.AddTask("MSBuild");   
        }   
        testProj.Save(@"C:\testProj.proj");
    }
}
