This is probably a really stupid MSBuild question but if I have
<ItemGroup> <Dll Include='<Path_to_DLLs>\*.dll' /> </ItemGroup> And then
<SomeTarget useFiles=@(Dll)> ....do stuff </someTarget> What I want to do is to output the current item that @(Dll) is looping through. Basically I wanting to output the name of the current DLL being acted on.
I think this must be possible and it is probably so simple but it is driving me nuts!
Aha The joys of metadata.
On the creation of every item in MSBuild, specific MetaData is assigned to it.
In this case I could use %(Filename) to retrieve the file name
