If Statement in Visual Studio Project - visual-studio

I have this in my Visual Studio Project
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<Message Text="Compiling TypeScript files" />
<Message Text="Executing tsc$(TypeScriptSourceMap) #(TypeScriptCompile ->'"%(fullpath)"', ' ')" />
<Exec Command="tsc$(TypeScriptSourceMap) #(TypeScriptCompile ->'"%(fullpath)"', ' ')" IgnoreExitCode="true" />
</Target>
I want to execute the stuff within the <Target Name="BeforeBuild"></Target> if the Configuration is Debug and the Platform is AnyCPU. Is this possible and if so how is it done?

Try the following
<Target Name="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' And '$(Platform)' == 'AnyCPU'">
Slightly more fancy version
<Target Name="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU'">

TypeScript 1.4 compiler throwing error when compiling in release mode

I'm doing some simple tutorials with TypeScript 1.4 in Visual Studio 2013 and everything works fine when I am compiling in debug. As soon as I try to compile in release I get:
The command "tsctrue "C:\Users\dluther\Downloads\typescript\materials\2-typescript-m2-exercise-files\Code\Before\TypeScriptTypes\TypeScriptTypes\app.ts"
"C:\Users\dluther\Downloads\typescript\materials\2-typescript-m2-exercise-files\Code\Before\TypeScriptTypes\TypeScriptTypes\Scripts\02-05-primitives.ts""
exited with code 9009.
In my .csproj file I have this:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<Message Text="Compiling TypeScript files" />
<Message Text="Executing tsc$(TypeScriptSourceMap) #(TypeScriptCompile ->'"%(fullpath)"', ' ')" />
<Exec Command="tsc$(TypeScriptSourceMap) #(TypeScriptCompile ->'"%(fullpath)"', ' ')" />
</Target>
Turns out I didn't have this in my project file (I had to add it manually):
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
<TypeScriptSourceMap> --sourcemap</TypeScriptSourceMap>
</PropertyGroup>

Setting the product version for a WiX project via MSBuild on a Jekins server. What's wrong here?

I'm trying to pass a dynamically determined version of a product to a WiX project via a call to an MSBuild project from Jenkins.
For starters, I don't think the problem is actually in Jenkins, since I can't get what I'm trying to do to work when running MSBuild from the VS2013 command prompt with a version hardcoded into our MSBuild project file.
The MSBuild project file is set to run from Jenkins with the following parameters: /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="x86" /p:AllowUnsafeBlocks=true
The MSBuild project looks as follows:

Then in the .wxs file to set the version I simply do Version="$(var.BuildVersion)"
However, when Jenkins calls MSBuild on the build project or I manually type msbuild build.proj /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="x86" /p:AllowUnsafeBlocks=true /p:BUILD_NUMBER=23 and then run the .msi file created, the version given in the .msi file is always the 2.0.0.0 default I've set in the .wixproj file.
I'm pretty sure it's not the actual call to MSBuild that's the problem, since replacing the BuildInstaller task with <MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\ProductName.Installation\ProductName.Installation.wixproj" Properties="ProductVersion=1.2.3.4" /> still has the same problem.
From what I've been able to find by searching around, what I'm doing should be fine. But it's obviously not. Any ideas on what I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thanks.
Take a look at:
http://iswix.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#main/Source/Installer/IsWiX/IsWiX.wixproj
<PropertyGroup>
<!-- If MSIProductVersion not passed in, try to get it fom TFBuild Environments-->
<MSIProductVersion Condition=" '$(MSIProductVersion)' == '' ">$([System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Match($(TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER), "\d+.\d+.\d+.\d+"))</MSIProductVersion>
<!-- If we still don't have a value, default to 1.0.0 for developer builds -->
<MSIProductVersion Condition=" '$(MSIProductVersion)' == '' ">1.0.0</MSIProductVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' ">

<Product Id="*" Name="IsWiX" Language="1033" Version="$(var.WiXProductVersion)"

Pass /p:MSIProductVerison=1.2.3.4 when you call MSBuild. Alternatively you can set the environment variable TF_BUILD_NUMBER as this is how TFS does it these days.

how to write inline code in <Target Name="AfterBuild"> in VisualStudio.csproj

if $(ConfigurationName) doesn't work in <AfterBuild>
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
if $(ConfigurationName) == Release (
<Exec Command="grunt karma:unit --no-color > grunt-karma-output.txt" IgnoreExitCode="true" />
<Exec Command="type grunt-karma-output.txt" CustomErrorRegularExpression=".*mPhantomJS.*FAILED" IgnoreExitCode="false" />
)
</Target Name="AfterBuild">
if $(ConfigurationName) WORKS in <PostBuildEvent>
<PostBuildEvent>
if $(ConfigurationName) == Release (
<Exec Command="grunt karma:unit --no-color > grunt-karma-output.txt" IgnoreExitCode="true" />
<Exec Command="type grunt-karma-output.txt" CustomErrorRegularExpression=".*mPhantomJS.*FAILED" IgnoreExitCode="false" />
)
</PostBuildEvent>
Could anyone suggest how to check if the build is in release mode in AfterBuild?
Use a Condition on the target:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="$(Configuration)==Release">
<Exec Command="echo AfterBuild"/>
</Target>
Btw this also works the same way for the PostBuildEvent (and the code you posted definitely does not work).
<PropertyGroup Condition="$(Configuration)==Release">
<PostBuildEvent>echo PostBuild</PostBuildEvent>
</PropertyGroup>

Issue applying a manifest to a wix generated msi using mt.exe

I'm trying to apply a manifest to a WiX generated msi to create an exe that will immediately display a UAC prompt upon running the installer. Unfortunately I'm getting the following error upon building my installer project:
Values of attribute "level" not equal in different manifest snippets. mt.exe
I need to elevate the execution to allow custom actions that run during InstallUISequence to have admin privileges (to look up IIS app pools and web apps). I'm using Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8.

And here is my manifest file I'm trying to apply:

I found one solution. Download Resource Hacker. Open your resulting executable file and browse it until you find your manifest file. You can edit it diretly in UI or you can script it in command line:
ResHacker.exe -modify old.exe,new.exe,manifestToUse.manifest,ROOTNODE,SUBNODE*
*Those NODEs are the path corresponding with resource (manifest) you are trying to update - it is the path in tree in Resource Hacker UI.
Another Hack is to modify the manifest information of the burn.exe of WiX. But this seems to be a very bad solution and I am not sure if there are any side effects. But in my case I could solve it that way because in my build process I use the WiX binaries (not the WiX setup) within my source control version system which then will not affect any other WiX projects on my machine.
I used Visual Studio´s Resource Editor to edit the manifest of burn.exe.

Order of AfterBuild tasks in Visual Studio projects ...?

I have defined several AfterBuild - Tasks in my Visual Studio project with different conditions:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='FinalBuilder'">
<Message Importance="high" Text="--- AfterBuild for FinalBuilder ---" />
</Target>
<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(MvcBuildViews)'=='true'">
<Message Importance="high" Text="--- AfterBuild for MvcBuildViews ---" />
</Target>
But only the last one is executed if the condition match. If I choose the FinalBuilder-Configuration, the AfterBuild tasks is ignored and not executed. If I change the order of the Targets in the project files (Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='FinalBuilder'" as last one), the AfterBuild for FinalBuilder-Configuration is executed but the one for MvcBuildViews is ignored.
Is the order of the target important? Is only the last AfterBuild task taken into account? Or how can I define different AfterBuild tasks with different Conditions?
Thanks
Konrad
The only second one is executed because it was redefined. See MSDN (Declaring targets in the project file chapter).
You should use only one AfterBuild target in your project file like this:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" >
<Message Condition="'$(MvcBuildViews)'=='true'" Importance="high" Text="--- AfterBuild for MvcBuildViews ---" />
<Message Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='FinalBuilder'" Importance="high" Text="--- AfterBuild for FinalBuilder ---" />
</Target>
EDIT:
Or use CallTarget task:
<Target Name="AfterBuild" >
<CallTarget Condition="'$(MvcBuildViews)'=='true'" Targets="MvcBuildTarget" />
<CallTarget Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='FinalBuilder'" Targets="FinalBuilderTarget" />
</Target>
<Target Name="MvcBuildTarget">
<Message Importance="high" Text="--- AfterBuild for MvcBuildViews ---" />
</Target>
<Target Name="FinalBuilderTarget" >
<Message Importance="high" Text="--- AfterBuild for FinalBuilder ---" />
</Target>
If you really need to run multiple AfterBuild tasks (this may be the case for example if you need different Input and Output sets for each task) you can use DependsOnTarget to simply make AfterBuild depend upon all of them:
<Target Name="AfterBuild1"
Inputs="stuff"
Outputs="stuff">
<Message Text="Running first after build task." Importance="high" />
<Exec Command="stuff" />
</Target>
<Target Name="AfterBuild2"
Inputs="other stuff"
Outputs="other stuff">
<Message Text="Running other after build task." Importance="high" />
<Exec Command="stuff" />
</Target>
<Target Name="AfterBuild" DependsOnTargets="AfterBuild1;AfterBuild2" />
If you need to constrain their order, just make AfterBuild2 depend on AfterBuild1 with DependsOnTargets="AfterBuild1".
