Hi,

I currently have a simply build up and running with a single stage that runs VS2010 on a given solution.

Unfortunately&nbsp;I cannot work out what path I'm suppose to specify so it can see the solution file.

The Visual Studio .NET action documentation uses the path '$Source.MyRepository\src\myProject.sln'.

I cannot find '$Source.MyRepository' or&nbsp;any similar variable defined in the project (the project tab under the 'varibles' section is empty).

How am I suppose to construct these paths, where is the documentation that describes this?

Thx,

Simon. K

Hi Simon   
  
The documentation is at [http://wiki.finalbuilder.com](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com)   
  
The doco on objects and variables is here :   
  
[http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/pages/…eId=655772](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=655772)   
  
The path should be $Source.YourRepoName$\path\to\solution\relative\to\root\of\repository\your.sln   
  
That is the default, however this can be modified by changing the Repository Rules for the stage (double click on the stage in the Stages page of the configuration wizard) - [http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/displa…tory+Rules](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Repository+Rules)
