It caused a couple of errors in the JavaScript too. I will try again in a couple of months maybe you will have the problems fixed.

Where do I want to place the YuiCompress.cs file? Should this be in its own project then linked into the project I need it for? Also I'm not sure I understand the AssmeblyFile property of the UsingTask tag should be set to. Thanks Andre Hi,

Or you can right click on the project, click Unload Project, then right click on the grayed out project and click edit. This will bring up the project's XML MSBuild script, and you can edit it from there. Or alternatively you can use this in the Microsoft Web Deployment Build Script, which is personally what I do. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0AA30AE8-C73B-4BDD-BB1B-FE697256C459&displaylang=en What you need to do is open the VS Project in a text editor, and edit the necessary code as outlined above.

Have no clue how to make use of this. Scoured the internet too and found nothing very helpful about MSBuild.

It is definitely doable in C# with out much rewriting. But definitely more time than I wanted to spend on the thing. However you might want to try running the Java to C# converter over the source code and see how close you get. I looked at the YUI Compressor code.
