Is there any way we can get the csproj files being referred in a solution file? My build script only refers to solution file but I also need csproj files information.

An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found.

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.

Thank you

Transforming T4 template on build intermittently produces an exception

Hi all,

I'm using 

<PropertyGroup><TransformOnBuild>True</TransformOnBuild> <OverwriteReadOnlyOutputFiles>true</OverwriteReadOnlyOutputFiles><TransformOutOfDateOnly>false</TransformOutOfDateOnly></PropertyGroup>

to transform all templates in the project upon building. This works most of the time, however, sometimes it throws this:

error : An Exception was thrown while processing a directive named 'Dsl'. The transformation will not be run.  The following Exception was thrown: [C:\Source\Trunk\Projects\Driver.Design.Package\Driver.Design.Package.csproj]

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.

I have a VS 2019 Solution with some .Net Framework 4.7.2 library projects. I need to create a NuGet Package after building each project in the solution. I came to know about Pack Target in MSBuild. But I didn't get any sample / code to achieve this. I would need help with 3 things.

1. A Sample .Net Framework 4.7.2 Class Library Project (VS2019) with NuGet Pack Target implemented

2. How to pass the various properties like Id, Name, Author, Version, Description etc?

3. Is there a way to customize which files should be included in this package? If yes, how?

Please help.

My Visual Studio Community 2019 Preview doesn't build anymore!

I am using Visual Studio Community 2019 with amongst others the next problems:
1. My basic include file seemed - sometimes - impossible to find. Renewal of my license sometimes solved this problem unpredictably. Strangely enough this include file was ALWAYS present and ALWAYS identically indicated in all my projects's property pages!
2. Many times an error C1083 appeared and disappeared solved again unpredictably by a renewal of my license sometimes more than once a week!
3. At last an error TRK0005 generated by tracker.exe resulted unsolvably: I had to back step to Visual Studio Community 2017. This again causing a complaint about v142 building tools. I start thinking this might be tracker.exe's (only?) purpose! Possibly tracker.exe might be the cause of all my misery? But how to get rid of it?
ANY HELP WILL BE ACCEPTED WITH THE UTMOST GRATITUDE!

MSBuild Running Slow Called from PowerShell Script (Visual Studio 2019)

January 17, 2020, 10:46 am

Hi there folks,

I set up a new TFS Build Server recently and I'm investigating some extended time periods during the build process.  One of those periods is the recompiling of our Selenium test .dll.  First, the packages are restored via MSBuild, which is fine.  Then, the script hangs for about 10 minutes, while the .dll is actually compiled.

This worked fine on our Visual Studio 2017 Build Server, (took a few seconds to compile I believe) but seems problematic with 2019.

Here's the code.  Am I missing an MSBuild parameter or two?

$msbuild = """C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"""

# Rebuild the Test source .dll...
Write-Host "********** Running UI Tests **********"

# Restore Selenium packages...
Write-Host "********** Restoring Selenium Packages **********"&"C:\Nuget.exe\Nuget.exe" restore  $source\Development\12.0\Web\MyAppWeb\MyCo.SeleniumUITest\MyCo.SeleniumUITest.sln -DisableParallelProcessing
Write-Host "********** Selenium Packages Restored **********"

# Changes for new MSBuild....
$projfile = "$source\Development\12.0\Web\MyAppWeb\MyCo.SeleniumUITest\MyCo.SeleniumUITest.sln"

try
{
    start-process $msbuild -ArgumentList @($projfile,'/t:Rebuild','/p:configuration=Release') -Wait
    Write-Host "********** Selenium .dll compiled successfully! **********"
}
catch
{
    Write-Host $_.Exception.Message
    exit 1
}

Any Help Appreciated!  If this should go in the PowerShell forum, let me know.  I thought MSBuild would be the correct place as I'm hoping its just a parameter or call tweak.

ClickOnce installation failure: SqlLocalDB2012\x64\sqlcmdInutils.msi has changed since it was initially published

January 19, 2020, 6:00 am
$

I have a VS2017 project that I am publishing with ClickOnce.  Prerequisites include SQLLocalDB2012.  All previous versions have published successfully, and users have been able to download and install the application.

New users are now, however, receiving an error message that is stopping the download of both SqlLocalDB2012 and the application:

The install log file contains the same error message, but no other information.

These two postings here and here suggest that the problem is related to the public key on the ClickOnce Bootstrapper file, product.xml, not matching the product key of the setup.exe installer.  I accordingly amended product.xml by replacing its product keys for all SqlLocalDB2012 elements to match the setup.exe product key and re-published, but this has not solved the problem.

I have also tried installing SqlLocalDB2012 manually first, but when I then try to download the application, it does not recognise that SqlLocalDB is already installed and still tries to run sqlcmdInutils.msi, leading to the same failure.

I cannot understand why, after two years of successfully publishing a number of versions of this application, I am now getting this error.  I have made no changes to other prerequisites or the manner or destination (my website) of publication and have simply incremented the version number on each occasion. 

Can you help?

Validating PublishProfile - msbuild can't find deploy package

I was trying to publish a web api project, in Jenkins, and it failed:

  ValidatePublishProfileSettings:
    Validating PublishProfile(kt_ws.Public_deploypackage) settings.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(4371,5): error : The value for PublishProfile is set to 'kt_ws.Public_deploypackage', expected to find the file at 'E:\Dev\Jenkins\workspace\KorTerra-Builds\KT-WS.Public-Trunk-Build\kt_ws.Public\Properties\PublishProfiles\kt_ws.Public_deploypackage' but it could not be found. 
I tried to publish using VS2019, and it worked fine.
Then I tried running msbuild on the command line, and it failed with the same error.
>msbuild /t:build /p:Configuration=Release /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=kt_ws.Public_deploypackage /p:VisualStudioVersion=14.0 /p:AspnetMergePath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\\" test_kt_ws.Public.sln
After spending an hour or so messing about, trying convince myself that what was happening was what was happening (and that both on the Jenkins build machine and on my local dev machine the .pubxml file was exactly where msbuild said it wasn't), I took a wild guess.
I renamed the .pubxml file so that it didn't have a period, from "kt_ws.Public_deploypackage" to "kt_ws_Public_deploypackage".
And then everything worked.
Is anyone else seeing this?

Dear friends,

Calling HtmlHelp() in any normal way from a 64-bits application will throw an exception that kills my executable. I even recompiled my *.chm file with exactly this same result. My *.chm file seems to be OK because I will be able to process it and it seems to be behaving normally. I have in the link properties included htmlhelp.lib. I am running Visual Studio Community 2019 under Windows 10. My executables character set is UNICODE. Everything went fine when running the same executables in 32-bits.

Do .NET Full-Framework SDK style projects still support ClickOnce?

January 27, 2020, 1:59 am

We've recently started to migrate our .NET Full-Framework (net472) projects to the new SDK-style project format. Some tools were previously distributed usingClickOnce and we just manually deployed them from Visual Studio in the project settings' "Publish" tab.

<TargetFramework>net472</TargetFramework>
Even though all the MSBuild properties are still in place in the .csproj file (e.g.PublishUrl, PublisherName, ...)  Visual Studio doesn't seem to detect that it's a ClickOnce application anymore and the "Publish" tab is gone.

When calling msbuild /t:publish ... the application is just published to the "normal" output directory into theapp.publish folder. No .application or other deployment files are created. To me it seems like Visual Studio is just assuming that it should "dotnet publish" if it's an SDK-style project.

Maybe ClickOnce support was explicitly dropped? I couldn't find any official announcement on this.

We're about to purchase stand-alone professional licenses for my team and I'd like to know whether we need to buy another license for the build server (we're running it on a Win10 machine under a Jenkins CI server if that makes a difference).

Previous advice I've read has suggested as long as we have licenses for the developers using the build server, that we do not require an additional one but I cannot find any documented confirmation that that is the case for Visual studio 2019

Hi, I've moved some of my projects into netcore 3 with VS2019. Everything seems to work well, but every time I compile something, the output window gets cluttered with "Project Performance Summary".

I've turned MSBuild verbosity to "Quiet" in tools->options->projects and solutions->build and run however I keep getting that superfluous information.

Is this responsability of MSBuild or the culprit is somewhere else? What can I do to avoid getting the Project Performance Summary in build output?

CopyLocal=false does not propagate transitively

With SDK style csproj and SDK 3.1.101.

If project A reference project B which reference project C, and B is copylocal=false in A, then I would expect to see only A in the output fo A, but I see C which is not referenced directly by A, only through B. So it looks like the copylocal=false flag, applied to B fine, but did not propagate to the dependencies of B, and they got copied in the output.

The same example with dll reference instead of project reference does not have the issue.

How can I do to make a true copylocal=false?

Thanks.
