I'm trying to create a general build environment for multiple projects that can take a some command line parameters and execute a build based on a custom config file.
The problem I am having is after I read in the config parameters with MSBuild.Community.Tasks XMLQuery, which works fine, I can't get aspnet_complier to see these parameters.
I keep getting "error MSB3462: Either MetabasePath or VirtualPath must be specified."
Here is my project file:
