xml/xsl to create msbuild files........MSB4097......and an xsl workarounds(??)

The backstory of this post is here:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/96102/msbuild-does-not-accept-valid-child-nodes-that-contain-the-xmlns-namespace-attribute-even-if-its-the-correct-one
Basically, there are some msbuild/xml issues.
The wonderful error you get is:
error MSB4097: The element <Target> beneath element <Project> may not have a
custom XML namespace.
There are some suggestions at the site.
One is "write out the xml/reload it, then add elements".
The other one is "use the msbuild object library".
Neither is especially desirable.
I only recently found the issue at the connect.microsoft.com site......I put
in some heavy work creating some lightweight xml and then an xsl transform
sheet to create my msbuild project file.
Aka, I just did alot a work before I hit this monkey wrench. :<
At the top of this post ......there is the (resultant xml from my transform)
is currently what I'm stuck with.
The issue are these orphaned
xmlns=""
values.
Because of the bug......(outlined in the URL above)...
you cannot have this xml (below is a copy from the xml above):
<Target Name="AllTargetsWrapped" xmlns="">
AND you cannot do this:
<Target Name="AllTargetsWrapped"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
The end result has to be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="AllTargetsWrapper"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<!-- - - -->
<Target Name="AllTargetsWrapper"> <!-- Emphasis here because there is no

Here is a very basic (and does-not-do-anything-interesting) example of some
xml and xsl which creates the issue:

If you want to see this issue "in action"........then take the xml and xsl
above (the slimmed down version xml/xsl pair I have above)
Transform it, and put the resultant xml in a file called
"MSBuildXmlIssueTransformOutput.xml"
Create a .bat file
And put this in the .bat file
<!-- START BAT FILE -->
@echo off
ECHO Demonstrate MSBuild create Own Xml Issue:
ECHO .
@echo on
set msBuildDir=%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
set msBuildDir=%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
call %msBuildDir%\msbuild /target:AllTargetsWrapper
"MSBuildXmlIssueTransformOutput.xml" /p:Configuration=Release
/l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=MSBuildXmlIssueOutput.log
set msBuildDir=
<!-- END BAT FILE -->
You will see that you get MSBuild issues unless the xml is like "START
DESIRED RESULT" format above.
Any hope for this one? I've read the suggestions at connect.microsoft.com
and it just undermines my efforts I just put in.
Even if I have to perform two transformations, that is an option...........
I'm "ok" (skill-wise) with xsl, but thought I would post this issue to
people alot better at xsl than I am.
And I appreciate you looking, but comments along the lines of
"You don't have to use <xsl:element></xsl:element> , you can write it
shorter using ______________" are especially helpful on this one.
I'll rework the xsl to be trimmer if I find a workaround...I promise!
The engines I have available are.
DotNet Xml/Xsl Libraries, 3.5 Framework.
Saxon (in a pinch that is) ("C:\Program
Files\MSBuild\SaxonHE\bin\Transform.exe")
MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0
Thanks for any help.
I'm probably gonna document some of this over on the connect.microsoft.com
site as well.......since I went to trouble of creating some samples.

Martin,
THANK YOU, it works just as you said.
I'm posting my basic-setup scenario xml and xsl so future googlers
(errrr......bingers) will find a basic and working example.
Again, thank you very much.

I had a corrupt information store on Exchange 2003 so I added a new temporary server (Exch2003) and moved all of my mailboxes to the new server. After I did that, I saved the copy of the original info store to another location and created a new info store with the same name. Then I moved all of the mailboxes back to the "new" info store. Everything runs great - backups, log files, email flow except for - - creating a new user/mailbox. The user part creates fine and it looks like a mailbox is created, but looking under the mailbox folder doesn't show a mailbox for th...

Read XHTML into XML
Hi all, I need to read/parse XHTML aspx pages and look for certain tokens and content. How can I use a XmlTextReader for this? If not, any other ideas? Thanks in advance, JA Reyes. Jose Antonio Reyes wrote: > I need to read/parse XHTML aspx pages and look for certain tokens and > content. How can I use a XmlTextReader for this? If not, any other ideas? If the pages are well-formed XHTML then it is possible to use XmlReader (in .NET 2.0/3.0) or XmlTextReader (in .NET 1.x) to parse the XHTML documents.

Old servers showing up in "Create an exchange mailbox" wizard.
Greetings, I have a customer who removed some Exchange 5.5 servers in an usual fashion, and as such I removed them from the ORG by using ADSIEDIT to delete them. The problem is these mailbox servers are still showing up as target options in the create a new mailbox selection wizard. How can I clear these dead and gone servers from this list? The SRS databases and ADC are long gone, and the enviornment is native mode 2003. Also I thought at one point making a server a front-end server made it not show up in this list. I see all their front-end servers in this list, so I am guess my recollectio...

File sharing
Hi, I have a client with two machines running Mac OS X 10.3.6, and MS Office 2004 with SR1, and both machines have file sharing enabled. If machine1 has a file on its hard disk opened called file1.xls, and machine2 tries to open the same file I thought that machine2 would only be able to access the file read-only, and be told this. However what I am seeing is that machine2 can open the file, make changes, and save the changes but if machine1 makes changes and saves their version machine2's changes are lost. Shouldn't machine2 be told that they can only open the file read-only? Thank...
