Public Function BuildProjectFiles (projectFiles As String(), targetNamesPerProject As String()(), globalPropertiesPerProject As BuildPropertyGroup(), targetOutputsPerProject As IDictionary(), buildFlags As BuildSettings, toolsVersions As String()) As Boolean

Parameters

projectFiles: String[]

A string list of project files to build. This value cannot be null.

targetNamesPerProject: String[][]

A BuildPropertyGroup array of targets for each project.

globalPropertiesPerProject: BuildPropertyGroup[]

An IDictionary array of properties for each project. This value cannot be null.

targetOutputsPerProject: IDictionary[]

A BuildSettings array of tables for target outputs. This value cannot be null.

buildFlags: BuildSettings

A string array of additional build flags.

toolsVersions: String[]

The ToolsVersion to impose on the project in this build.

Returns

Boolean

true if the project built successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This overload takes a set of global properties for each project to use for the build, returns the target outputs, and also enables the caller to specify additional build flags.
