While using Azure Build pipeline, there is task called build solution using MS Build then publish artifacts and the publish location is azure pipeline.
however in some course i saw other 2 steps where you use nuget packaging. and you do nuget pack then do nuget push to nuget artifact feed. i feel the 2 steps are pretty similar. if any one can illustrate what is different between the 2 approach
Using Typescript and React on Visual Studio 2019, I compile correctly the say "ClientApp\Components\a.js" file when saving the corresponding "ClientApp\Components\a.tsx" file, but when I launch the Visual Studio debugger, the javascript source is taken from the folder wwwRoot/Dist/Main.js, and not from my a.js file. So it seems that the Main.js file is a concatenation of all the *.tsx files and that my a.js file is ignored.
On the Project Properties, I check "Compile on Save" (which is what I want).
I got following error when compiling the c++ project with Build Tools 2017 in Windows container "windowservercore".
Running Code Analysis for C/C++...
c1xx : error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated [C:\jenkins\workspace\ABC-DEV\ABC\ABC.vcxproj]
c1xx : fatal error C1250: Unable to load plug-in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\localespc.dll'. [C:\jenkins\workspace\ABC-DEV\ABC\ABC.vcxproj]
But it does not report this error when running the same compile script on a Win10.
The Win 10 installed with Build Tools 2017 and same work loads as the container.
localespc.dll is actually under 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin' in container.
Anyone knows how to resolve this?

Hello,
At Ubisoft, we have a custom CMake that we maintain with patches originally based on VCMDDAndroid to support the Visual Studio generator with Android. We recently faced issues when updating the NDK as the VCTargets file provided with Visual Studio 2019 only support the NDK up to version r16. We did some manual changes, but were hoping to see these changes incorporated directly in Visual Studio in a future update.
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Application Type\Android\3.0\
First, we patched Android.STL.props to remove android_support for newer NDKs.
Second, we patched the NDK version file, but the actual fix should be done in Android.NDK.props. This file load the LLVM version with the following code:
<LLVMVersion Condition="Exists('$(LLVMToolchainPrebuiltRoot)\AndroidVersion.txt')">$([System.IO.File]::ReadAllText('$(LLVMToolchainPrebuiltRoot)\AndroidVersion.txt').Trim())</LLVMVersion></PropertyGroup>
Recent NDKs however also have the commit hash in the file:
8.0.2
based on r339409
The code need to be updated to only extract 8.0.2 from this file, and discard the remaining.
Hello all,
I am trying to get a build to work, but am having some issues. Using Visual Studios 2012 with V6.0A AL.exe and v3.5 framework, I keep getting this error:
ALINK : error AL1047: Error importing file 'c:\Windows\System32\obj\debug\AICS.ARCHITECTURE.RESOURCES.dll' -- The system cannot find the path specified.
Not entirely sure why, as this .dll file is present in the proper folder. What could be causing this? If any additional information is needed I can provide it.
Hey,
I have a CMake project with a few configurations in a CMakeSettings.json file.
Is there a simple way to build one (or all) of the configurations defined in that file from the command line?
Right now I don't see a way to do it without repeating the configuration in a batch file or parsing it out of the json.
Thank you,
Alex
Hi,
I am currently working on a Open-Source Project, which has some third-party library dependencies, I have installed all of them using Vcpkg into a particular folder in my E: drive and integrated them with Visual Studio with the "vcpkg integrate install" command, and supplied the Cmake toolchain also in the IDE.
But the libraries (ie. WxWidgets currently) are not being detected while configuring the build.
I am attaching the configuration message as well as the error snapshots below.
Any suggestions regarding this, would of great help.
Thanks & Regards.
I've a custom file type (in a C++ project, like the .masm files -> BuildCustomization).
Its definition contains
<ItemGroup><AvailableItemName Include="MyFile"><Targets>MyTarget1</Targets></AvailableItemName></ItemGroup>
and I have
<PropertyGroup><BuildDependsOn>MyTarget2;$(BuildDependsOn)</BuildDependsOn></PropertyGroup>
and the 2 targets (just showing a text "SuperText + @(MyFile)") ...
this "works" in a way but I don't understand it
when I compile the project, the MyTarget2 is executed but not the MyTarget1 and when I compile a file by selecting it and right-click -> compile... then MyTarget1 is executed but not MyTarget2 ... I could understand the second one... but I don't understand why MyTarget1 is not executed when compiling the project. Can someone explain me that? Is this ... a bug in my script? Why could this be? Or is this normal? In this case... why?
I think... that I have copied everything exactly from the book Inside MsBuild.. the Doc2Html example... but maybe I'm still missing something... maybe I'm going and really copy pasting it and see if I can get this working... this simply cannot be that difficult... it cannot... that's impossible... and if it doesn't work, I'm going to install Visual Studio 2010 (because that's what they say they used...) and if this still doesn't work, I'm going to contact the author... that's... I don't know... in the end it's me missing a comma or a dot or one letter, word or file... or it's just that I didn't plant enough trees in the summer... whatever...

I need to delete files. Those files are listed in a .log file and I also need to delete the logfile itself. I've written this like that... is this ok or would you do something different? Maybe adding anoter @ construct or whatever? (for example, writing the Condition and File parameter differently??) ...
<Target ...><ItemGroup><IDLDeleteFiles /></ItemGroup><ReadLinesFromFile Condition="Exists('%(IDLDeletes.out)\%(IDLDeletes.Filename).log')" File="%(IDLDeletes.out)\%(IDLDeletes.Filename).log"><Output TaskParameter="Lines" ItemName="IDLDeleteFiles"/></ReadLinesFromFile><Delete Files="@(IDLDeleteFiles)" /><Delete Files="@(IDLDeletes->'%(out)\%(Filename).log')" /></Target>Rudolf
Explain me this please...
There is a _ResourceCompileDependsOn ... this contains a $(BeforeResourceCompileTargets); and others... and BeforeRecourseCompileTargets contains only ";BeforeResourceCompile;" ...
Now... I'm adding something (Target ahaa) to the BeforeResourceCompile... but, in the diagnose output I see that _ResourceCompileDependsOn does contain the old value of BeforeResourceCompile. Why?
When I instead add something to the _ResourceCompileDependsOn, then it is there and is executed.
What's the thing I'm not understanding here???

I did try the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 on a test build machine and it seems to work with my C++ solutions, but it is a pre-release and not meant for production. I need something that will work for production, so I have installed Microsoft Build Tools 2015, Windows 10 SDK, and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and copied some of the files that are listed under Build Server lists.
The builds on the machine using the pre-release tools use "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\CL.exe" when running MSBuild and the build completes, but my other machine uses just "CL.exe" when called with the same code and gives the error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe". Clearly there is some kind of problem with environment variables being applied to the call to MSBuild, but I'm not sure where to look next. The system variables are the same on both machines, so something else is telling the machine with the pre-release tools where to find this path for CL.exe.
Any help would be appreciated.
Note: In case it helps, running CL.exe from a command prompt, I get an error saying it can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing. It is there in the System32 folder, which is in my Path.
And if I try to use vcvarsall.bat, it claims it can't find Common Tools.
Hello everyone,
In the past 6 months since I got my first Windows on ARM laptop I've ported several open source project to the platform and I thought it'd be a good idea to present all the common issues I've encountered and how I solved them. Generally targeting ARM64 should be as easy as changing the compiler target and recompiling however there are certain issues that can and do happen -
Just created a new Console Application project in C# and was not able to build it. Is there any way to fix this?
I haven't even touched the code:
using System;
namespace Catan
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}Here is my stack trace:
Error MSB4018 The "CreateAppHost" task failed unexpectedly. Microsoft.NET.HostModel.HResultException: 80070013 at Microsoft.NET.HostModel.AppHost.HostWriter.<>c__DisplayClass2_0.<CreateAppHost>g__UpdateResources|1() at Microsoft.NET.HostModel.RetryUtil.RetryOnWin32Error(Action func) at Microsoft.NET.HostModel.AppHost.HostWriter.CreateAppHost(String appHostSourceFilePath, String appHostDestinationFilePath, String appBinaryFilePath, Boolean windowsGraphicalUserInterface, String assemblyToCopyResorcesFrom) at Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks.CreateAppHost.ExecuteCore() at Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks.TaskBase.Execute() at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskExecutionHost.Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.ITaskExecutionHost.Execute() at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskBuilder.<ExecuteInstantiatedTask>d__26.MoveNext() Project C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.targets 370
The complete build error is
Task 'ValidateAppxManifest' failed. Unspecified error
'Microsoft Corporation' violates pattern constraint of '\bms-resource':.[1,256]'.
(In place of Microsoft Corporation could be anything)
'Microsoft Corporation' is in nuget packages describing the publisher.
After searching and reading related posts in the past, I resolved it by uninstalling and reinstalling VS and recreating the solution.
Last time, this method didn't work - except in debug mode. I moved to another computer which worked fine.
Only a few modifications in code and an update to VS 16.3.9 on the new PC and the error came up again.
In total, It is a waste of several weeks time.
Any help is greatly appreciated by everyone wasting time on non development issues.
thank you in advance
Hi.
I have installed Qt version 5.13.2 on my machine and have also installed the VS2019 extension Qt VS2019 Tools. I tried to use the extension to build a Qt project based on this Qt example. First it read the build files and tried to invoke qmake which took around 24+ hours. Then it reported a whole bunch of MSBuild errors which I've put in this Gist.
I also mentioned this on the Qt Forums by the way. I just thought it might be a good idea to mention it here as well since it concerns a Visual Studio extension and also an MSBuild issue related to it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The following properties file when placed with a simple CPP project file (I used Hello World.cpp found on the net I doubt one can get simpler than that) as Directory.Build.props will display the macro list when editing the Output Directory property for the project (even showing values for OUT1 and OUT2. However removing the commenting from the second <OPT1> assignment will entirely blank the same Macro property list without generating an error in the load process. Is this the desired or designed intended behavior when Substring should be returning an empty string and is probably returning NULL?

I have ASP.NET Core project with about 30 micro services.
All applications live in the same repository and with same structure of each micro services.
Do we need to create 30 separate definition in Jenkin to give the build for all 30 micro services?
Or we have any approach where all 30 micro services can bind into one definition?
