How do you use the tasks?
This example shows how the two tasks complement one another. The FlexibleConfigTask is used to conditionally write the connection string, based on the developer's running the task. The output is written to "\MSBuild\bin\MSBuild.config".
The MSSQLTask uses the generated configuration file to rebuild the database, starting with the backup, and then executing all scripts located in the UpdateScriptLocation folder.
FlexibleConfig.FlexibleConfigTask
This task provides flexibility by conditionally merging a file. Conditions can be any valid CSharp boolean expression. In practice, this can be used to merge settings specific to a user (distributed workforce not sharing a common infrastructure) or environment(integration/QA/production).
