Synopsis: Adding pre-compilation task with empty command causes config file parse error
Description
Adding a pre-compilation (or presumably post-compilation task) with an empty Command causes a VD00 general parse error when parsing the configuration file. Subsequent attempts to fix the pre-compilation task via the Change Project Settings button fail with a parse error. I should not be able to produce and invalid config file through the Project Settings interface.
To Reproduce
Compile with attached class and config file. Click on Change Project Settings. Expand Advanced tree, right-click on Tasks and select Add Pre-Compilation Task. Clear the Command field, which starts out with value "new". Click OK. Compile. Estudio reports VD00 general configuration parsing error at line 8, column 33. Click on Change Project Settings to try to correct the error. Estudio pops up an error window that says there is a parse error in test.ecf.
