MSBUILD: how to find out current folder of imported file

[Sajjad Akhter]

Hi,

Issue at hand is that i want to have common build scripts, but people may be
multiple version (source trees) on single machine. How can i traverse parent
tree.

so what i thought is that i would put ..\env.Build file

when it reaches to root (where it knows location of common scripts).
then it will init variable to that folder.

problem is that how to find folder of imported build file.

or if i have a path string is there some string manuplution in msbuild that
would allow me to extract path info.
etc

Thanks,
Sajjad

Hello Sajjad,

MSBuild provides a set of reserved properties that store information about
the project fille and the MSBuild binaries. For example,
$(MSBuildProjectDirectory).
