Hi ACTY,

If you build the project using MSBuild Command line, the default platform configuration is Debug|AnyCPU. If you didn't specific any configuration, MSBuild will use the settings defined for Debug|AnyCPU. You sets the debug setting as NONE, which will take no effect on the building as expected.

MSBuild use the property <TreatWarningsAsErrors> which accepts a boolean value to indicate whether we want to treat warnings as error. When we want to use command line to override the property, we can use " /t:TreatWarningsAsErrors = true" to force the MSBuild use this overrided property.

More information about command line of MSBuild, please check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx

Hi,

Little correction in uses use "/p:TreatWarningsAsErrors = true"  instead of " /t:TreatWarningsAsErrors = true" .

Thanks.
