I have a property group, like so:
<PropertyGroup>
<Platform>Win32;x64</Platform>
</PropertyGroup>
And I want to batch in an Exec task, like so:
<Exec Command='devenv MySolution.sln /Build "Release|%(Platform)"' />
But of course, as written I get an error:
error MSB4095: The item metadata %(Platform) is being referenced without an item name. Specify the item name by using %(itemname.Platform).
Can I batch tasks on properties that are lists? I suppose I could hack it by creating a placeholder ItemGroup with metadata and batch on that.
