- Boolean
true to create a deep copy of the BuildProperty; otherwise, false.
Returns
A copy of the BuildProperty.
Remarks
A shallow copy of a BuildProperty references the same XML element as the original. Modifications to the name or value of a shallow copy will be reflected in both copies. However, depending on property evaluation, the two copies could have different FinalValue property values.
A deep copy of a BuildProperty creates a new XML element to reference so that both copies of the BuildProperty can be independently modified.
