How do you recursively call tasks in MSBuild?

Question

E.g. I want to call these scripts passing diff params each time:

<ItemGroup> <SqlFiles Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Tables\*.sql" /> <SqlFiles Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Functions\*.sql" /> <SqlFiles Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Views\*.sql" /> <SqlFiles Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\ForeignKeys\*.sql" /> <SqlFiles Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\StoredProcedures\*.sql" /> <SqlFiles Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Data\*.sql" /> </ItemGroup>

You could to that by using MSBuild Task with Properties.

<!-- Dont itemize sql files now, if you want to differenciate the task operations --> <ItemGroup> <SqlDirs Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Tables" /> <SqlDirs Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Functions" /> <SqlDirs Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Views" /> <SqlDirs Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\ForeignKeys" /> <SqlDirs Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\StoredProcedures" /> <SqlDirs Include="$(SourceServicesDbSqlRootDir)CreateScripts\$(SourceServiceName)\Data" /> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="MainTask"> <MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)" Properties="SqlDir=%(SqlDirs.Fullpath)" Targets="RecursivelyCalledTask"> <Output ItemName="ProjSources" TaskParameter="TargetOutputs"/> </MSBuild> </Target> <Target Name="RecursivelyCalledTask"> <!-- We create here the SqlFiles items based on SqlDir--> <CreateItem Include="$(SqlDir)\*.sql"> <Output ItemName="SqlFiles" TaskParameter="Include"/> </CreateItem> <Message Text="SqlFiles -> @(SqlFiles)"/> </Target>
