public:
 Microsoft::Build::Construction::ProjectUsingTaskElement ^ CreateUsingTaskElement(System::String ^ taskName, System::String ^ assemblyFile, System::String ^ assemblyName, System::String ^ runtime, System::String ^ architecture);
public Microsoft.Build.Construction.ProjectUsingTaskElement CreateUsingTaskElement (string taskName, string assemblyFile, string assemblyName, string runtime, string architecture);
member this.CreateUsingTaskElement : string * string * string * string * string -> Microsoft.Build.Construction.ProjectUsingTaskElement
Public Function CreateUsingTaskElement (taskName As String, assemblyFile As String, assemblyName As String, runtime As String, architecture As String) As ProjectUsingTaskElement

Parameters

taskName
String

The task name.

assemblyFile
String

The file path to the assembly.

assemblyName
String

The name of the assembly to load.

runtime
String

Optional runtime specifier.

architecture
String

Optional architecture specifier.

Returns

ProjectUsingTaskElement

The UsingTask element.

Remarks

Caller must add the UsingTask element to the location of choice in the project. Either the assemblyName or assemblyFile must be null, but not both. Both the runtime and architecture can be null.
