Methods

AddOutputItem(String, String)

GetParameterNames()

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

This retrieves the list of all parameter names from the element node of this task. Note that it excludes anything that a specific property is exposed for or that isn't valid here (Name, Condition, ContinueOnError).

Note that if there are none, it returns string[0], rather than null, as it makes writing foreach statements over the return value so much simpler.

GetParameterValue(String)

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

This retrieves an arbitrary attribute from the task element. These are attributes that the project author has placed on the task element that have no meaning to MSBuild other than that they get passed to the task itself as arguments.

SetParameterValue(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

This sets an arbitrary attribute on the task element. These are attributes that the project author has placed on the task element that get passed in to the task.

SetParameterValue(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

This sets an arbitrary attribute on the task element. These are attributes that the project author has placed on the task element that get passed in to the task.

This optionally escapes the parameter value so it will be treated as a literal.
