Q:

Is it possible to send parameters into Nant task? 

I would like to have a nant task which builds code into either a dev/test folder depending on the type of build.   Rather than have repeated tasks/targets with just different folders I would like to call Nant task from CruiseControl. NET with a different parameter dev / test. 
The nant task would then define a property for the output folder depending on the input parameter.   I think I needs some kind of 'if' statement to test the parameter and define the correct one. 
Any ideas how to do this? 
Thanks. 

A:

Typing:
nant -help

shows that you can define properties as follows:
-D:name=value

to test it in a script:
if="${property:exists('name')}"

in CCNet, you can run it with:
<tasks>
 <nant>
  <executable>nant.exe</executable>
  <buildFile>script.build</buildFile>
  <targetList>
   <target>build</target>
  </targetList>
  <buildArgs>-D:defaultPath=C:\build</buildArgs>
  <buildTimeoutSeconds>600</buildTimeoutSeconds>
 </nant>
</tasks>
