Hi All
I was hoping that someone would be able to help me with an issue that I have been struggling with the last few days.
We need to convert a VS 2010 SP 2010 solution to VS 2012 SP 2013. The solution which contains 3 projects with features. Most of these contain Visual Webparts (scoping is at farm level). The issue that we are experiencing is that the following build error is generated:
Error 2 The "TransformFiles" task was not given a value for the required parameter "IsDebugging". xxxxxxxx.yyyyyy
We have confirmed that there is only one Microsoft.VisualStudo.SharePoint.Tasks.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\SharePointTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Tasks.dll
and it is the correct version.
What we did to import the solution was to:
- Open the solution in VS 2012 and let the import wizard do its thing. There were a few warnings but no errors
- Remove and re-add the SharePoint references (to confirm that the projects were pointing to the correct dlls)
- Do a global change of _layouts/ to _layouts/15/ as well as _controltemplates/ to _controltemplates/15
- Change the Project .Net Target Frameworks to 4.5
- Change any 14.0.0.0 references to 15.0.0.0
- Change any 3.5.0.0 references to 4.0.0.0
