NAnt and .NET 3.5

From an old entry by Jeffrey Palermo:

Unfortunately, we don't have a .Net 3.5-compatible NAnt distribution
yet, but it's trivial to get the latest version (.85) working with
.Net 3.5 and a Visual Studio 2008 solution.  Open up you nant.exe
config file, and add the following framework node just below your net-2.0 node.  Not much of a change, and it's working well for me.

<framework name="net-3.5"
    family="net"
    version="3.5"
    description="Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5"
    runtimeengine=""
    sdkdirectory="${path::combine(sdkInstallRoot, 'bin')}"
    frameworkdirectory="${path::combine(installRoot, 'v3.5')}"
    frameworkassemblydirectory="${path::combine(installRoot, 'v2.0.50727')}"
    clrversion="2.0.50727">

    <task-assemblies>
        <!-- include .NET specific assemblies -->
    <include name="tasks/net/*.dll" />
    <!-- include .NET 2.0 specific assemblies -->
    <include name="tasks/net/2.0/**/*.dll" />
    <!-- include Microsoft.NET specific task assembly -->
    <include name="NAnt.MSNetTasks.dll" />
    <!-- include Microsoft.NET specific test assembly -->
    <include name="NAnt.MSNet.Tests.dll" />
    </task-assemblies>

  <project>
        <readregistry property="installRoot"
            key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot"
            hive="LocalMachine" />

    <readregistry property="sdkInstallRoot"

      <task name="ildasm">

      </task>
    </tasks>
</framework>

Next, change the following in your NAnt build:

<property name="nant.settings.currentframework" value="net-3.5" />
