Can't use MSBuild in Targets Mode about vssolutionbuildevent HOT 2 CLOSED

You can increment easier

$(myBuildNumber += 1)

Script also contains an incorrect block finalization, try like this:

#[var myBuildNumberFile = .version]

#[(!#[IO exists.file("$(myBuildNumberFile)")])
{
    #[File write("$(myBuildNumberFile)"):0]
}]

#[var myBuildNumber = #[File get("$(myBuildNumberFile)")]]

#[$(myBuildNumber += 1)]   
#[File write("$(myBuildNumberFile)"):#[var myBuildNumber]]

You can debug it via Settings - Tools - Testing tool.

if not, using Testing tool What result for

= $([MSBuild]::Add(1, 1))

Thanks!

Oh, also, just noticed

$([MSBuild]::Add($(MyFirstNumber), $(MySecondNumber)))

If you're trying to get the numbers from properties defined in targets mode, ie.

    <PropertyGroup>
        <MyFirstNumber>12</MyFirstNumber>
        <MySecondNumber>25</MySecondNumber>
    </PropertyGroup>

Then obviously need either uncheck option "MSBuild support" from the left control
Or same define this variables as it was for $(myBuildNumber) somewhere - somehow.

SobaScript will work for targets mode too.
