Question

I have a solution with lots of projects. Each project is configured to generate the XML documentation file when building in Debug-Mode (which is default). That works when I build in Visual Studio 2008.
In my build script on my integration server I advise MSBuild to build the whole solution, but it won’t generate the documentation files. What can I do?

I already tried to explicitly give the Debug-Condition to the build process, but it makes no difference.

<Target Name="BuilSolution">
     <MSBuild Projects="C:\Path\To\MySolution.sln" targets="Build" Properties="SolutionConfigurationPlatforms='Debug|Any CPU'"/>
</Target>    

There seem to be some ideas to solve this problem when building single projects, but I can’t afford to do this, so I need a hint for doing it this way.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I do this all the time with my CI server. Just pass properties as follows:

Properties=”Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU”
