NAnt intellisense in VS.NET 2003 [转]

NAnt
intellisense in VS.NET 2003

I know, a zillion people wrote about intellisense in VS.NET for NAnt files
already, but just as a reminder for myself I write this blog entry:

Create a file NAntGenerateSchema.build with the following NAnt
code, modify the SchemaFile property for your installation diretory/version of
VS.NET:

<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<project name="GenerateNAntSchemaForVS.NET"
default="genschema">

<property
name="SchemaFile" value="C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\Packages\schemas\xml\NAnt.xsd"/>
<target name="genschema">
<nantschema output="${SchemaFile}"
target-ns="http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant.xsd"/>
</target>
</project>

Call this script each
time you add some extra tasks dll’s or when you move to a new version of NAnt,
because it generates a schema based on the available NAnt
tasks.

Add you NAnt build file
to your VS.NET project (if possible).

Open the .build file in
VS.NET using File->Open…->File…, and then
notice the extra options in the lower right corner of the open file window,
select Open With…:



Now select to open this
file as selected below, also click Set as Default:



Set in the properties
window for this file the targetSchema to the NAnt schema:



Repeat for all your
build files. Done.
