Exec Task in Nant 0.84

Today i needed to add a line to the Nant file so as to execute a command line.

Browsing the Task List , i found that there is one called exex
(http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/tasks/exec.html)

Then i wrote the command i needed to execute .
Something like this "rs -iblablabla -ublabla -pblabla"






But executing the command line, Nant intended to execute the next:

rs "-iblablabla -ublabla -pblabla" (Adding quotes)

So that it derived on an error .

Lamentably i can not install the 0.85 version that solves the problem, so thinking a little I solved it executing a .bat file and writing my command on it and finally executing what i needed.

So the configuration file keeps in that way:

exec program="mirs.bat"/


That solved my problem when Nant adds quotes while executing a command, but in some cases this can not solve your situation and you'll need to install the 0.85 version.

Reporting Services - Expanding a Chart Subreport

I had a subreport with a chart, but i did not like how it was drawn because it was displayed with the chart and some legends at its right side, so that the chart width was decreased so as to the legends could be seen expanded.

I prefered to see all the chart on the same size so that i go to the report designer and on the chart properties , at the Legend tab i modified it to write the legends with row layout centered at bottom.
