The Deployment Framework for BizTalk is the most powerful and customizable, yet easy-to-use toolkit for deploying and configuring your BizTalk solutions.
Overhaul the core Deployment Framework MSBuild targets to take advantage of MSBuild v4.0 functionality.
Convert CreateProperty/CreateItem within Targets to PropertyGroup/ItemGroup
Use MSBuild property functions to read the registry, etc.
Major benefit is that many existing properties can be made available during MSBuild's parsing and evaluation phase, which allows them to be used within ItemGroup's and PropertyGroup's in the .btdfproj whether in Condition's or within the values of properties and/or items. More properties just work as expected instead of working at runtime but not in global ItemGroup's and PropertyGroup's.
