include

TFS 2008, VS 2008. I have a tfsbuild.proj and tfsbuild.msp file in $/MyStuff/TeamBuildTypes/Dev folder. I have a targets file at $/MyStuff/TeamBuildTypes/IncludeFiles/Common/test.xml. test.xml contains an XML fragment that overrides the BeforeGet task.

I tried to get the file into my tfsbuild.proj file like this:

<Import Project="$/MyStuff/TeamBuildTypes/IncludeFiles/Common/test.xml" />

The build fails because it tries to get the file from a relative path that is way off.

How can I specify external/include files from an explicit TFS "remote" path?

Thanks.
