Body
In MSBuild 4.0, the easiest way is the following: <pre><code>$([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath('$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)\your\path')) </code></pre> This method works even if the script is <code><Import></code>ed into another script; the path is relative to the file containing the above code. (consolidated from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/4894456/33080">Aaron's answer</a> as well as the last part of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/2421596/33080">Sayed's answer</a>) <hr> In MSBuild 3.5, you can use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882668.aspx" rel="noreferrer" title="ConvertToAbsolutePath">ConvertToAbsolutePath</a> task: <pre><code><Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Test" ToolsVersion="3.5"> <PropertyGroup> <Source_Dir>..\..\..\Public\Server\</Source_Dir> <Program_Dir>c:\Program Files (x86)\Program\</Program_Dir> </PropertyGroup> <Target Name="Test"> <ConvertToAbsolutePath Paths="$(Source_Dir)"> <Output TaskParameter="AbsolutePaths" PropertyName="Source_Dir_Abs"/> </ConvertToAbsolutePath> <Message Text='Copying "$(Source_Dir_Abs)" to "$(Program_Dir)".' /> </Target> </Project> </code></pre> Relevant output: <pre><code>Project "P:\software\perforce1\main\XxxxxxXxxx\Xxxxx.proj" on node 0 (default targets). Copying "P:\software\Public\Server\" to "c:\Program Files (x86)\Program\". </code></pre> A little long-winded if you ask me, but it works. This will be relative to the "original" project file, so if placed inside a file that gets <code><Import></code>ed, this won't be relative to that file. <hr> In MSBuild 2.0, there is an approach which doesn't resolve "..". It does however behave just like an absolute path: <pre><code><PropertyGroup> <Source_Dir_Abs>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\$(Source_Dir)</Source_Dir_Abs> </PropertyGroup> </code></pre> The <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164309%28VS.80%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)</a> reserved property is always the directory of the script that contains this reference. This will also be relative to the "original" project file, so if placed inside a file that gets <code><Import></code>ed, this won't be relative to that file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
