Answer 1

The CodeCampServer project provides good examples for a variety of tasks using nant to build MS projects including using MSBuild. However it doesn't use the msbuild task. Here's an excerpt from the common.build file from CodeCampServer:

<target name="compile" depends="init">
    <echo message="Build Directory is ${dir.build}" />
    <exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-framework())}\msbuild.exe"
              commandline="${file.solution} /t:Clean /p:Configuration=${project.config} /v:q" workingdir="." />
    <exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-framework())}\msbuild.exe"
              commandline="${file.solution} /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=${project.config} /v:q" workingdir="." />
</target>

<msbuild>任务是NAntContrib的一部分。

Answer 3

The <msbuild> task must be imported into your build script. Put the following element somewhere within your <project> element.

<project ...>

    <loadtasks assembly="C:\Program Files\NAntContrib\NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll"/>

    ...
</project>

I believe NAnt will also pick up additional task libraries if the dlls are placed in the NAnt bin folder.
