Windows Phone 7 : build netmodule and dll - dll

In my Windows Phone 7 project, I try to separate my source files in module.
Here is what I am doing :
I build a netmodule from sources with command line :
"%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" /out:log.netmodule /t:module /noconfig /nowarn:1701,1702 /nostdlib+ /errorreport:prompt /warn:4 /define:DEBUG;TRACE;SILVERLIGHT;WINDOWS_PHONE /nostdlib /noconfig /r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\mscorlib.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\system.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\System.Net.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\System.Windows.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\System.Xml.dll"; CLog.cs
Then I build a DLL with netmodule input :
"%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" /out:tools.dll /t:library /noconfig /nowarn:1701,1702 /nostdlib+ /errorreport:prompt /warn:4 /define:DEBUG;TRACE;SILVERLIGHT;WINDOWS_PHONE /nostdlib /noconfig /r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\mscorlib.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\system.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\System.Net.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\System.Windows.dll";"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\Profile\WindowsPhone\System.Xml.dll"; /addmodule:log.netmodule AssemblyInfo.cs
But when I add my dll "tools.dll" in my windows phone 7 references, I get this error :
Reference cannot be added [...] because it was not built using the windows phone runtime. windows phone project will work only with windows phone assemblies.
I don't understand this error, since I use only windows phone references in my building command lines.
An interesting information : if I don't build netmodule, but dll "log.dll" (1st command line), then I can add log.dll reference in my windows phone project.
Thanks in advance.

When you are compiling your netmodule, there is a wrong reference that points to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Adll";
Same applies to the second DLL. Try correcting that first.

ASP.NET Pipeline Not Publishing Content

I am attempting to create a new build pipeline in DevOps to build a website. The main solution is being used as the source; it contains the website project as well as a separate unit test project. The logs show the build is succeeding but the publish portion is not being run.
For the build solution step (using Visual Studio Build), I am passing in the following arguments:
/p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem /p:publishUrl="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\\" /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish /p:DeleteExistingFiles=true
I've run the same build arguments on my local machine using msbuild from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
which is putting content and respective files into the publishUrl parameter.
I've also tried using the default template without making any modifications. Default parameters are /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\\"
but no package is being built in this scenario.
It feels like it's completely ignoring the publish options being passed in.
The $(build.artifactstagingdirectory) has been resolving to D:\a\1\a.
The publish artifact step yields the following log:
[warning]Directory 'D:\a\1\a' is empty. Nothing will be added to build artifact 'drop'.
[section]Finishing: Publish Artifact: drop
Any one have some ideas or suggestions on what is going on? I'd like to know if/where I should be expecting the _PublishedWebsites folder to exist. I don't want to use a publish profile for this as I am not using Azure to do the actual deploy of the website.
Thanks!

ASP.NET Pipeline Not Publishing Content
Since the project type is web site and you do not want to use a publish profile, you can try following method:
After creating a publish profile in VS the following are created:
1) A publish profile (.pubxml file) under App_Data/PublishProfiles
2) A website.publishproj in the root of the website
The purpose of the website.publishproj is to facilitate command line publishing. Then you can try to use msbuild build task like the following to publish it:
msbuild.exe "WebSite1\website.publishproj" /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\\"
And this also should be work for the first command:
msbuild.exe "WebSite1\website.publishproj" /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem /p:publishUrl="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\\" /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish /p:DeleteExistingFiles=true
Hope this helps.

How to define where msbuild looks for packages?

I'm trying to build a solution from command line. This involves 3 steps:
nuget install
nuget restore
msbuild
I am using a NuGet.Config files that specifies where the nuget packages are cached to, and also where the restored packages are added.
The command nuget restore does not work, nor does it provide a helpful error message other than 'the solution can't be built'. Another answer on StackOverflow helpfully recommended to run the msbuild command and see what the error is.
It would seem that files installed via nuget are not found during msbuild (or apparently nuget restore). This is the log from msbuild for every single assembly other than what is found in GAC:
Primary reference "NTRPRS.NLog.Slack".

How can I specify to msbuild where assemblies installed by nuget are? Also.... why is nuget restore failing? The message I get from nuget restore is:
C:\<path>\src>nuget restore
Error parsing solution file at C:\<path>\src\<name>.sln: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The project file could not be loaded. Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation, Version=4.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified. C:\<path>\src\<name>.sln
using:
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '15.7.177.53362' from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\bin'.
As far as I can tell, the nuget error output is completely nonsensical. The absolute path C:\<path>\src\<name>.sln absolutely does exist.
This is a problem that only surfaced after 15.7.0 of Visual Studio / MSBuild.
NuGet already has an open issue for this problem: https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/6918
The current workaround is to install .NET 4.7.1 until the problem is fixed, because that will install the missing library in the Global Assembly Cache.

FAKE MSBuild step can't resolve references

I have a FAKE build script which will run perfectly fine if I build the project once using VisualStudio, but if I try and do a fresh build then it throws errors saying it can't find the namespace of both a number of nuget packages and my dependant visual studio projects.
I'm using FAKE's MSBuildRelease and passing in the .sln file like so:
Target "BuildWindowsProject" (fun _ ->
MSBuildRelease
""
"Build"
[ "./Source/My.Project.sln" ]
|> Log "Windows-Build: "
)
It's giving out a number of errors such as below, but these include both projects within the solution and external nuget packages.
The type or namespace name 'Caliburn' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I did notice that back in 2011 this was posted - MSBuild cannot find a reference but it's quite old and I can't find any more recent occurrences of the issue online.
It works just fine if I do a visual studio build first and then run my build script but this doesn't solve the problem for a build server. What am I doing wrong?
You have to perform deep diagnostic by yourself, because the question under consideration requires the source code to be published here. It also can depend on the environment where the script is running, in order to get you the right answer.
You have an option on MSBuild utility to pass verbosity level of output. Use the following switch value to get detailed information about how the references are resolved during the build:
msbuild ./Source/My.Project.sln /t:Build /v:d
Using this command, you can navigate to the steps called ResolveAssemblyReference and ResolveProjectReference. You can see all the paths, where it will search for assemblies, and if it is succeded:
4> Primary reference "System.Runtime.Remoting, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089".

4> The ImageRuntimeVersion for this reference is "v4.0.30319".
You also can examine which references were passed to the compiler if you look at commandline, which was generated by MSBuild and find out if there is a reference you are required in.

MsbuildSonar Runner +Fxcop - No fxcop issues are posted to server.SonarDashBoard shows 0 technical debt

I am using Sonarqube 5.1 with MsBuildSonarRunner for my c#.net project analysis. Sonarqube 5.1 has come with C# 4.1 plugin, Recently I upgraded to 4.2. I have created a quality profile with ONLY Fxcop rules. I have followed the steps mentioned in Sonar site for analysis.
In analysis, I see that FXcop rule violations are captured. But when I browse to SonarDash board, It shows technical debt as 0 and issues as 0. I have reviewed my steps many times and I don't see any mistakes from my side. What could be the reason why Issues are not posted to server.
Here is my Build command log. I see clearly FXCOP rules are applied and violations are printed on console during build phase.

FxCop analyzes assemblies, and relies on *.pdb files to map issues back to locations within the source code (i.e. to specific *.cs files at specific lines).
The issue reported by CA1823 seems to be on a field, which due to limitations of the *.pdb format are not being mapped back to source code. These issues are ignored during the import of FxCop results into SonarQube. You can verify that by manually opening the FxCop report (whose path you'll find in .sonarqube\out*\ProjectInfo.xml).
There is already a ticket to improve this in a future version of the C# plugin: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARFXCOP-32
Update November 18th 2015
After many comments on this answer (see below), the root cause of the issue was finally found: The SQL Server collation must be case-sensitive (CS) and accent-sensitive (AS).
SonarQube 5.3 is expected to fail faster when this is not the case, to avoid these kind of strange problems: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-6884

TeamCity won't publish project using MsDeploy

I have msbuild command to publish my project (WCF Service Application) that looks as follow:
msbuild FooBar.Service.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=true;
DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish;
MSDeployServiceUrl=http://server.pl/MSDeployAgentService;
DeployIisAppPath="Foobar";
MSDeployPublishMethod=RemoteAgent;
UserName=Joe;
password=secret;
and this works from VS Command Prompt, all is published without any errors. Please note, that I'm not specyfing any Target.
But I want to create my Deployment Project using TeamCity (7.1.5). I have done simple project, and Configuration with one Build Step:
The problem is that, when I'm running this Task, msbuild compiles my site but without publishing it to remote server. Below is the build log:

I haven't looked through this in depth but noticed that in your command-line example you're specifying DeployIisAppPath, but looks like you're using DeployAppPath in your TeamCity script, which will just be ignored by MSBuild, I think.
Having the same issue for visual studio 2013 projects. another configuration just building and deploying fine
It's worth noticing that you're getting the following warning:
MSBuild command line parameters contain "/property:" or "/p:".
It is recommended to define System Property on Build Parameters instead.
What it's saying is that the best practice for passing numerous parameters to command-line based executions is to define parameters as System Properties rather than explicitly concatenate them in one long string.
As a suggestion for refactoring, I'd recommend you to define the parameters that you're passing through /p: prefix as System Properties (this can be done on Build Parameters section of your Build Configuration). In this case they will be passed to executions behind the scenes and will help you to avoid duplication, get easily maintainable and so on. It will also make the parameters list more clear and help you to find out if there is something wrong with the parameters you're passing to MSBuild that may cause the issue.
