Although Rob et al, don't recommend this approach we have been using Heat, and it's predecessor, as part of our automated build process for over a year with Wix3. The main things to be wary of are the spurious entries generated by Heat, for example VB6 entries which should not be there. However this is where XML shines, using both Xpath and tranforms, you can sanitise the output from heat directly into compilable code. We use Ant as our main build tool and xmltask a contributed package for ant works very well for the substitions and removal. I am unaware if Nant has a similar package. ----End Of Original Message----- As of v0.85 NAnt provides <xmlpeek> and <xmlpoke> tasks that support for XPath expressions. I have been using them in a similar manner and they work very well.
