NAnt project to VS2003 solution - How do I do it?

Everywhere I look, I see the opposite. I know NAnt has many features beyond what I want right now (whiuch is to get VS intellisese and the other nice things I'm used to).
I want to take some sourcecode that is written in C# for .NET 1.1 and was managed within a NAnt build environment, and convert it (ie, create the .sln, .csproj etc files) so I can use VS2003 to continue some coding.

I'd love someone to give me a step-by-step recipe for doing this.

The project has a number of sub-projects in child folders, 30 or 50 code
files all up.

I don't think any of us on the MSBuild team have heard of such a tool. Have you tried asking around the Nant community?

Yes, amongst NAnt users.

Partial joy: a manual procedure to do it - which does work. But it required fairly thorough knowledge of the projects being converted (info provided by the project developer). The project has a lot of resource files, only 20-30 code/forms, and involved a bit of reference-setting.

I see posts about huge size of some .build files, so I'm not surprised that nobody has built a tool to analyze and extract the small part that's relevant to creating a .sln and the .csproj/vbproj files.

Ian,

Manual might be the only way to go, we've not heard of a tool that automates this. Also note that Visual Studio 2003 does not use the MSBuild system that's discussed in this forum. MSBuild was only introduced in Visual Studio 2005.
