New Direction for the MSBuild Toolkit
Microsoft officially announced today that they will unofficially support MSBuild compiling to the .NET Framework 1.1. Called MSBee (the MSBuild Everett Environment), this tool will consist of new .targets files and MSBuild Tasks to round out the feature set that I had been supporting with previous versions of my kit.

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.

Visual Studio 2005 Build Compatibility
I just successfully made VS2005 compile an application to all versions of the .NET Framework. In the next few days, I'll be cleaning up this process, and building an installer for the required files. I'll detail everything here shortly. But it IS possible with a couple miniutes worth of work, which should be great news for control vendors and others who want to save a bunch of time.
