Nant / MSBuild support in resharper 2 VS2003

Is the file extension .build? I noticed that it doesn't work if you use
something else, like .nant.

Maybe it would be better if it could figure that out by looking at the
referenced xml namespace...?

Hello Chris,

Currently ReSharper detects a NAnt build script only if it has ".build" extension.
There's no easy way for detecting a build script, because not all build scripts
have a proper extension and not all build scripts reference an appropriate
namespace. If you rename your file, so that it is ".build", do you see any
changes?

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply. My file does have the '.build' extension, when I open it Visual Studio does not apply any of the formatting that it would to a normal xml file (which I would expect as it does not recognise the .build extension) however ReSharper does nothing to it either.

In Solution Explorer right click on the build file and choose Open With... In the dialog choose "HTML/XML Editor" and click Set As Default. Then click Open and see if that fixes things.

I don't know if this will have any effect on ReSharper but it should certainly affect VS treating it as an XML file.

HTH,

Thank you, that sorted the problem out, after copying the Nant schema locally as well resharper is now offering me intellisense.
