I’m working on a thorny little problem right now that I’m having a little difficulty getting my mind wrapped around. I’m developing a custom MSBuild task (the first of several) that has a dependency on Library A; the build task is then used to help build Library B. The goal here is to allow concurrent development on both A and B and not have any build breaks.

Can I do this in one fell swoop?

Build A
Build Custom Build Task and Deploy to the MSBuildExtensionsPath
Build B

In theory it sounds good, but….the devil is in the details.
