Is NAnt .build file case sensitive?

Are the keywords used for project, target, task, function, ... in NAnt build files case sensitive or not?

In a word: Yes.

NAnt is case-sensitive, even if Windows isn't fussed.

Try this NAnt build script:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- ====================================================================== -->
<!-- test case sensitiveness -->
<!-- ====================================================================== -->
<project name="test.casesensitiveness" default="test">
  <target name="test">
    <property name="foo" value="bar" />
    <echo message="Does property 'foo' exist? ${property::exists('foo')}" />
    <echo message="Does property 'Foo' exist? ${property::exists('Foo')}" />
  </target>
</project>

Here is the output:

test:

     [echo] Does property 'foo' exist? True
     [echo] Does property 'Foo' exist? False

So, yes identifiers in NAnt are case-sensitive.
