ResolveComReference Class

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Implements the ResolveComReference task. Use the ResolveComReference element in your project file to create and execute this task. For usage and parameter information, see ResolveCOMReference Task.

MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.

Remarks

On a 64-bit machine, Framework64/<version>/msbuild cannot resolve COM objects registered as 32-bit components. For example, if you register a COM object with regsvr32 and then try to build a project targeting the x86 platform with Framework64/<version>/msbuild, the build is unable to resolve the COM object. If instead you build with Framework/<version>/msbuild, the build is able to resolve the COM object.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
