    Description

      Problem:
      If a Visual studio solution has spaces on it the user need to put the solution name between double quotes.
      There no clue for that in the UI and if it is not used the build with fail with the following errors:

22-Nov-2016 10:44:51	For switch syntax, type "MSBuild /help"

      In the previous test the the Project File field was populated with the following value: Console Application3.sln

      This is the result when using double quotes "Console Application3.sln":

      Suggestions:

      1. Add a message under the field telling the user that he should use double quotes if using spaces
      2. Add a validation in that field so the user won't be able to save it with invalid values
      3. Scape the spaces in the task code, so the user won't need to add quotes
