Initial Comment:
Hi,

When I tried to build the VC# 2005 solution using
nant, I am getting the following error.

build:

[solution] Starting solution build.

BUILD FAILED

Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2005 solutions are not
supported.

Total time: 0.1 seconds.

Please help me to resolve this.

Regards

As you have to see from the message you got, this is NOT an
error (bug), but a “feature”. 2005 solutions are simply NOT
supported in official solution task.

To find solution to your needs, browse nant lists archives.
There are several ways desribed. And please, do not create
bug reports for feature requests.
