How to run visual studio build in azure devops

Question

I want to build my solution file in azure devops. I have added this to build pipeline, I see this step doesn't succeed. It tells " MSBUILD: error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified." I suspect I am making some mistake in specifyning msbuild args

msbuild $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\ansysfnonet\ansysfnonet.vs2017.sln /t:$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\ansysfnonet\ansysfnonet.csproj:Rebuild;

I tried specify only proj file as msbuild arg it didn't work for me

I tried without specifying msbuild it throws me whole lot of errors.

Someone please help me, why I am failing in this step and how to solve this error.

Thanks

You don't need to specify an msbuild command line in the MSBuild Arguments field. You need to specify any additional MSBuild parameters beyond the defaults.

Clear that field. That should fix the problem you're encountering.
