New MSBuild Toolkit Coming Soon

For everyone that's been asking, don't install the last build on ANY version of VS2005 other than Beta 2. I'm working on a new version for the RTM version that handles Targets much differently. The only problem is, the MSBuild team refactored the MSBuild APIs, which they said were going to help. It didn't even come close. The RTM version actually has less of the functionality that I needed exposed as public methods, not more. So right now I'm trying to set a gameplan for how best to address it (separate API enhancement that others can use, private inheritance, helper methods... etc) and then I'll be able to wrap it up.

I'm also waiting for word on a couple other things... specifically COM reference generation and that Web Deployment kit that lets you use MSBuild to deploy ASP.NET 2.0 web projects like you could in 1.1. As soon as I have answers to those questions, I can wrap this up.

Thanks for all your interest, and keep watching this space.

I have. I'll check them out, but to be honest, the .targets file is the least of my concerns at the moment. I need to fix the MSBuild stuff first.
