Targeting .NET v1.1 in VS 2005 using MSBee

[kinook]

Microsoft has released a community project called MSBuild Extras (or MSBee), that allows building applications in Visual Studio 2005 that target .NET 1.1.

The attached sample demonstrates how to incorporate MSBee into VS 2005 builds with VBP. The first set of steps adds the MSBee targets (if not already added) to all .csproj and .vbproj files in a specified path. The last step demonstrates building a solution via the Make VS.NET action, targeting .NET 1.1 (via additional MSBuild flags in the Additional options field on the Options tab).

MSBee 1.0 or later must be installed on the build box. See the MSBee Readme.doc for more details.
