Definition

Gets the fully qualified tool name. Should return ToolExe if ToolTask should search for the tool in the system path. If ToolPath is set, this is ignored.

protected:
 abstract System::String ^ GenerateFullPathToTool();
protected abstract string GenerateFullPathToTool ();
abstract member GenerateFullPathToTool : unit -> string
Protected MustOverride Function GenerateFullPathToTool () As String

Returns

Path string.

Examples

The following example creates a ToolTask that runs Ilasm.exe (IL Assembler). The CommandLineBuilder, ToolLocationHelper, and TaskLoggingHelper classes are used to generate the information needed to run the task.
