What is the best way to upgrade XML node in MSBuild

I use Tigris community tasks to update various AppSettings keys using the XMLUpdate task.

Now, however, I want to add node to the system.net section to configure proxies.

I declared a property

<PropertyGroup>
    <proxy>&lt;defaultProxy&gt; &lt;proxy usesystemdefault="False" proxyaddress="http://IPADDRESS:PORT" /&gt; &lt;/defaultProxy&gt;</proxy>
  </PropertyGroup>

and the XMLUpdate task looks like

<XmlUpdate
 Prefix="n"
 Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"
 XmlFileName="$(BuildDir)\Builds\_PublishedWebsites\Presentation\Web.config"
 XPath="/n:configuration/n:system.net"
 Value="$(proxy)"  />

this updates the web configuration, however it is updated directly from the property group, i.e. does not convert escape characters for angle brackets. Does anyone have any idea?

You can use XmlMassUpdate instead of the XmlUpdate task.

<ProjectExtensions>
  <defaultProxy>
    <proxy usesystemdefault="False" proxyaddress="http://IPADDRESS:PORT"/>
  </defaultProxy>
</ProjectExtensions>

<Target Name="SubstituteFromWebConfig">
  <XmlMassUpdate 
    NamespaceDefinitions="msb=http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003;n=http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"
    ContentFile="$(BuildDir)\Builds\_PublishedWebsites\Presentation\Web.config" 
    ContentRoot="/n:configuration/n:system.net"
    SubstitutionsFile="$(MSBuildProjectFullPath)"
    SubstitutionsRoot="/msb:Project/msb:ProjectExtensions/msb:system.web" />
</Target>

node, ContentRoot ContentFile, , SubstitutionsRoot SubstitutionsFile ( MSBuild).

MSBuild ProjectExtensions, XML , MSBuild. > .

( XmlMassUpdate, XmlRead node ProjectExtensions XmlUpdate.)
