How to force MsBuild to use existed dll?

How to force MsBuild to use existed dll?

I have folloving (simplified) definition in csproj file:

<Choose><When Condition=" '$(CCNetBuildId)' == '' AND '$(BatchBuild)' == '' "><ItemGroup><ProjectReference Include="..\GPS.Order.Factory\GPS.Order.Factory.csproj"><Project>{f3cd6b63-0312-4708-9c99-18232a20d21e}</Project><Name>GPS.Order.Factory</Name></ProjectReference></ItemGroup></When><When Condition=" '$(BatchBuild)' == 'true' "><ItemGroup><Reference Include="GPS.Order.Factory"><SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion><HintPath>GPS.Order.Factory.dll</HintPath><Private>False</Private></Reference>			</ItemGroup></When><Otherwise><ItemGroup><Reference Include="GPS.Order.Factory" /></ItemGroup></Otherwise></Choose>

Idea was - when I use a standard Studio build (not CruiseControl or my own batch file) will be compiled 

GPS.Order.Factory.csproj

if I use batch build - will be used dll in working folder.

In any other case (CruiseControl build) will be used any suitable (most likely - from working folder) instance of dll.

If something goes wrong - an error report expected.

But behavioure of MsBuild are different from expected.

On batch and CC builds MsBuild picked up DLL from OBJ folder of Gps.Order.Factory.csproj. Usually there are wrong DLL.

How do I suppress picking up wrong DLL?

I rememeber that I already do ask something similar when Studio 2015 was released and problem was confirmed.

But looks like the problem remain on place.

Sincerely, Highly skilled coding monkey.

How to resolve NuGet package local path

October 19, 2017, 11:19 am

   Actually the main question is not that straightforward. The problem is that I need to include multiple versions of a NuGet package to a project. As I understood from searching for an answer on the internet the only option is to add App.config with the following lines

<runtime><assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"><dependentAssembly><assemblyIdentity name="Deep" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="f694e838567cfe72" /><codeBase version="1.0.0.0" href="Deep-1.0.0.0.dll" /><codeBase version="2.0.0.0" href="Deep.dll" /><bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="1.0.0.0" /><bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" /><bindingRedirect oldVersion="2.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" /></dependentAssembly></assemblyBinding></runtime>

   Thus, I instruct the framework to load Deep-1.0.0.0.dll version when the code calls that particular assembly version. To make it work on the step of building the project I created an msbuild task. First of all I specify locations of assemblies I want to add to the project target directory, then the task goes over those assemblies, extracts their version numbers, adds them as -Major.Minor.0.0 to the file name, and copies the assemblies to the project target directory. Along with that it makes sure aforementioned configuration is added to the App.config.

   Now, I would like to do something similar for NuGet packages and the main problem is to find the right assembly in the NuGet assembly cache. For example if the NuGet assembly is referenced like

<ItemGroup><PackageReference Include="log4net"><Version>2.0.8</Version></PackageReference></ItemGroup>

   How do I find that assembly on the hard drive? I found it manually. It's at C:\Users\{UserName}\.nuget\packages\log4net\2.0.8\lib\net45-full. How can I find it while building the project? Is there a task or target I can call for that? Is it possible to find parts of this path somehow? Where to get the base path (C:\Users\{UserName}\.nuget\packages) from? How to figure out what should be the last part of the path which in this case is "net45-full"?

   Please, let me know if I'm complete on the wrong path and there is an easy way to include multiple versions of the same assembly to a project.

Thank you

Alex

Associating Build Number with TFS Work Items after build using vNext

Hi Team,

We have a requirement of associating work items with TFS Builds. Generally, this is possible (or we can say 'natural') while using XAML Build Templates in TFS (via　Integration Build　field of WorkItem. In the below screenshot it was mentioned as 'Integrated In'). We are currently trying to migrate from XAML Build Templates to vNext version of VSTFS 2015 and further to integrate with Octopus Deploy for CI/CD practices.


We are now half the way in the migration because we are stuck up making this vNext templates to associate TFS WorkItems with their Build numbers. Without doing this step, if we complete this migration, it will be difficult to get associated build numbers for each Work Items delivered in that build.

When we searched MSDN blogs, we got a post (link given below) similar to our requirement but I tried that and ended up with no luck. Search blogs with the tag - 'build-association-with-work-items-in-vnext'

So, please suggest the ways which can resolve our requirement.

Thank you,

Assembly 'MyDll.dll' must be strong signed in order to be marked as a prerequisite.

Hello Folks,

Another problem in MsBuild and MyApp.csproj file.

MyApp.csproj fragment:

<Choose><When Condition=" '$(MyFalseCondition)' == 'True' "> <!-- false condition!!! --><ItemGroup><ProjectReference Include="MyDll.csproj"><Project>{16263b86-4c23-48f3-a174-1b6d8cf0c391}</Project><Name>MyDll</Name><Private>False</Private> <!-- still affect deployment --></ProjectReference></ItemGroup></When><When Condition=" '$(MyTrueCondition)' == 'True' "><ItemGroup><Reference Include="MyDll"><SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion><HintPath>MyDll.dll</HintPath><Private>False</Private></Reference></ItemGroup></When></Choose>


MsBuild 4.0 (from Framework folder) runs with params:

MsBuid.exe /p:MyFalseCondition=False;MyTrueCondition=True /t:Publish MyApp.csproj

Build not failed - MyDll.dll sucseffully build or are available in WorkingFolder, MyApp.csproj also build withot errors.

But on deployment MyDll.dll are marked as Prerequisite(Auto) instead of expected Include(Auto) and couse an error about signing.

As far as I known this are coused by <Private>False</Private>, but from <When Condition=" '$(MyFalseCondition)' == 'True' "> branch.

The same <Private>False</Private> in "True" branch should not couse such problem. 

Any idea about how to suppress picking up wrong elments on deployment? 

Used on the XP Mode VM with host system Win 7 Pro SP 1, installed Framework 4.0 and Studio 2010 Ent.

Hello,

I am running VS2017 version 15.3.3.  I just updated it yesterday in an attempt to resolve this issue.  When I attempt to build a C# WPF project for a second time, I get a build error telling me the .EXE file is in use by another process.  Closing the solution and reopening allows me to build the project.  This is very annoying and unproductive.  

This only occurs after I edit and save the MainWindow.xaml file.  I have also tried closing the xaml file before attempting the second build without any success.

Visual Studio C++, in the pre-build event is there a way to get the list of files being compiled?

In the Pre-build event I'd like the list of files visual studio will compile. I'd like to run scripts just on those files. Is there a way to do this?  I don't want to check every file in the project every time I compile to see if the script needs to run on them.  I just want to run the script on the files that have changed/being compiled. Ideally I wouldn't have to detect myself which files have changed (by looking at timestamps or keeping track of a file hash).

I have a solution with 2 projects.  Let's say Project A and Project B.  Project B depends on Project A.  Project A has a pre build event set.  The build order ends up being Project B, the prebuild event, then Project A.  I would prefer it to be: prebuild event, Project B, then Project A.  Any way of doing this?

How to restart Explorer as a pre-build event in Visual Studio

I'd like to restart Explorer when building my DLL in Visual Studio. I've tried adding taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe and start explorer as pre-build events in the project configuration. When I then build my project, Explorer will in fact be terminated, but it will not be successfully restarted. The taskbar will remain missing. Only after starting explorer from a command prompt will it return. I've also tried executing a call to those commands in a .bat file, but I get the same problem (although the .bat file works properly when executed on its own, outside Visual Studio). I've also tried putting the relaunch part in a post-build event, but no dice. Is there any trick to getting Explorer to relaunch successfully in a pre-build event? Thanks for any input.

VS2015 C++ Multiply defined symbols only when exporting to a dll

Hi everyone,

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (C++ code). I have a relatively simple, class template (fully generic, all methods defined inside class declaration, no type specializations) used by multiple projects.

One of my projects compiles only if that project is set to export to a static library. If I make it a dynamic library, the linker complains that the instantiation of the constructor of the aforementioned class template is multiply defined in two .obj files.

Note: the two .obj files contain the method definitions of two classes, one of which is derived from the other (i.e. base.obj and dervied.obj.)

I have tried inlining the constructor but it didn't help. Also, forcing output generates an invalid dll file.

Is this a bug? Is there a setting that I could use to get around this?

I recently upgraded from Visual Studio 2013 Community to the 2015 edition of Community. However, when I attempted to open one of my older projects that i created in VS 2013 Community, the error, "An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found.", prevented my ability to run the project.

I faced this issue with a C# console application as well, but when i created a new project and copied the code from the original project, it worked as expected.  However, this project that I am now facing the issue with is a VB project, that has multiple forms and a substantial amount of controls, so I am unable to just copy and paste code on this occasion.

It is very important that I am able to work on this project, so any help/suggestion is welcome.

I rebuilt this project 1000 times overnight, and it threw this exception twice. It normally wouldn't be a problem, but this project will be part of a TFS build pipeline, and I wouldn't want this to cause any failures.

Considering it builds 99% of the time, I'm pretty lost on what could be the cause of this.
