• Visual Studio Accessing the CData section of an Item

  What would be the best way to pass a CData section as an ITaskItem to a task We added a task called EMail that emails out build notifications.

So this is not an error just a logical failure. Is there anyway I can look at the contents of the HRESULT after the call, even when an exception ...Show All
