Parameters

  • switchName
    Type: System.String

    The name of the switch to append to the command line. This value cannot be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

  • parameter
    Type: System.String

    The switch parameter to append to the command line. Quotation marks will be added as necessary. If this value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), then this method has no effect.

Remarks

This method encapsulates individual file names with quotation marks as necessary.

If the command line is not empty, then this method also appends the command line with a space, before the switch.

Examples

AppendSwitchIfNotNull("/source:", "File Name.cs") yields /source:\"File Name.cs\".
