  • 0

in my MSBuild every text that has this pattern $(SomeText) is considered as property reference. I have an MSBuild Custom Task that writes content to some text file and the text that needs to be written is $(SomeText) thus MSBuild does not let this pass through because it is considered as properry reference.

Any workaround.

Many thanks,

Idriss
