BuildPropertyGroup.SetProperty Method

Definition

Sets the Value of the BuildProperty with the specified Name.

Overloads

SetProperty(String, String)

This method (and the whole namespace) is deprecated. Please use the classes in these namespaces instead: Microsoft.Build.ConstructionMicrosoft.Build.EvaluationMicrosoft.Build.Execution

Sets a property taking the property name and value as strings directly.

Either overrides the value of the property with the given name, or adds it if it doesn't already exist. Setting to the same value as before does nothing.

This method will take into account property precedence rules, so that for example, a reserved MSBuild property cannot be overridden by a normal property.

PropertyGroup must be virtual.

SetProperty(String, String, Boolean)

This method (and the whole namespace) is deprecated. Please use the classes in these namespaces instead: Microsoft.Build.ConstructionMicrosoft.Build.EvaluationMicrosoft.Build.Execution

Sets a property in this PropertyGroup, optionally escaping the property value so that it will be treated as a literal.
