Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine Namespace

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

This class represents a single item of the project. An item is usually a file on disk, with a type associated with it, and its own item-specific attributes. The list of items is initially specified via XML tags in the project file, although a single item tag can represent multiple items through the use of standard wilcards * and ?. Also, tasks can add new items of various types to the project's item list -- these items don't have any XML representation.

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

This class represents a collection of items. It may be represented physically by an <ItemGroup> element persisted in the project file, or it may just be a virtual BuildItemGroup (e.g., the evaluated items).

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

This class represents a collection of persisted <ItemGroup>'s. Each MSBuild project has exactly one BuildItemGroupCollection, which includes all the imported ItemGroups as well as the ones in the main project file.

The implementation of this class is that it's basically a Facade. It just calls into the GroupingCollection within the Project to do it's work. It doesn't maintain any BuildPropertyGroup state on its own.

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

This class holds an MSBuild property. This may be a property that is represented in the MSBuild project file by an XML element, or it may not be represented in any real XML file (e.g., global properties, environment properties, etc.)

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

A BuildPropertyGroup is a collection of BuildProperty objects. This could be represented by a persisted <PropertyGroup> element in the project file, or it could be a virtual collection of properties, such as in the case of global properties, environment variable properties, or the final evaluated properties of a project. These two types of PropertyGroups (persisted and virtual) are handled differently by many of the methods in this class, but in order to reduce the number of concepts for the consumer of the OM, we've merged them into a single class.

This class represents a single task.

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

Logger that forwards events to a central logger (e.g ConsoleLogger) residing on the parent node.

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

This class implements the default logger that outputs event data to the console (stdout). It is a facade: it creates, wraps and delegates to a kind of BaseConsoleLogger, either SerialConsoleLogger or ParallelConsoleLogger.

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

This class will create a text file which will contain the build log for that node

This class represents the MSBuild engine. In a system of project-to-project dependencies, this class keeps track of the various projects being built, so that we can avoid building the same target in the same project more than once in a given build.

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

A specialization of the ConsoleLogger that logs to a file instead of the console. The output in terms of what is written and how it looks is identical. For example you can log verbosely to a file using the FileLogger while simultaneously logging only high priority events to the console using a ConsoleLogger.

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

This class represents a single Import element in a project file

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

This class represents a collection of all Import elements in a given project file

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

This exception is used to wrap an unhandled exception from a logger. This exception aborts the build, and it can only be thrown by the MSBuild engine.

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

This exception is thrown whenever there is a problem with the user's XML project file. The problem might be semantic or syntactical. The latter would be of a type typically caught by XSD validation (if it was performed by the project writer).

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

Exception subclass that ToolsetReaders should throw.

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

This class hosts a node class in the child process. It uses shared memory to communicate with the local node provider. Wraps a Node.

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

This class is used to contain information about a logger as a collection of values that can be used to instantiate the logger and can be serialized to be passed between different processes.

This class represents an MSBuild project. It is a container for items, properties, and targets. It can load in project content from in-memory XML or from an XML file, and it can save to an XML file, preserving most whitespace and all XML comments.

All Project objects must be associated with an Engine object, in order to get at the loggers and other shared information. Also, when doing a "build", the Engine needs to keep track of which projects are currently building.

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

This class is used to wrap exceptions that occur on a different node

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

This class is used to generate an MSBuild wrapper project for a solution file or standalone VC project.

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

This class represents a single target in its parent project.

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

This class represents a collection of persisted <Target>'s. Each MSBuild project has exactly one TargetCollection, which includes all the imported Targets as well as the ones in the main project file.

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

Aggregation of a toolset version (eg. "2.0"), tools path, and optional set of associated properties

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

Implementation of ICollection<Toolset> that also supports key-based retrieval by passing the string value of the tools version corresponding with the desired Toolset. NOTE: This collection does not support ICollection<Toolset>'s Remove or Clear methods, and calls to these will generate exceptions.

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

This class represents a single UsingTask element in a project file

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

This class represents a collection of all UsingTask elements in a given project file.

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

Flags for controlling the build.

Flags for controlling the project load.

The position of a property to be set inside a project file.

Flags for controlling the toolset initialization.

Type of delegate used to reset console color.

Type of delegate used to set console color.
