How to generate a nant schema (xsd)?

Execute this build and it will generate the schema for all the available nant tasks, including nantcontrib tasks, if it is installed correctly within nant directory. Change the target-ns, if you are using other then http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant.xsd.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <project name="GenerateNAntSchemaForVS.NET" default="genschema"> <property name="SchemaFile" value="C:\NAnt.xsd"/> <target name="genschema"> <nantschema output="${SchemaFile}" target-ns="http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant.xsd"/> </target> </project>

To enable intellisense for .build file in Visual Studio.net copy nant.xsd file to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Packages\schemas\xml directory. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 is the VS.net's default installation path.
