BaseReference Class

Article
05/05/2015

Describes base functionality common to both file references and assembly references.

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.
