Constructors

BuildParameters()

Constructor for those who intend to set all properties themselves.

BuildParameters(ProjectCollection)

Creates BuildParameters from a ProjectCollection.

Properties

AllowFailureWithoutError

Indicates whether to emit a default error if a task returns false without logging an error.

BuildProcessEnvironment

Gets the environment variables which were set when this build was created.

BuildThreadPriority

Gets or sets the desired thread priority for building.

Culture

The name of the culture to use during the build.

DefaultToolsVersion

The default tools version for the build.

DetailedSummary

When true, indicates that the build should emit a detailed summary at the end of the log.

DisableInProcNode

When true, indicates the in-proc node should not be used.

DiscardBuildResults

Determines whether MSBuild will save the results of builds after EndBuild to speed up future builds.

EnableNodeReuse

Flag indicating whether out-of-proc nodes should remain after the build and wait for further builds.

EnvironmentProperties

Gets an immutable collection of environment properties.

ForwardingLoggers

The collection of forwarding logger descriptions.

GlobalProperties

Sets or retrieves an immutable collection of global properties.

HostServices

Interface allowing the host to provide additional control over the build process.

InputResultsCacheFiles

Input cache files that MSBuild will use to read build results from. If the isolation mode is set to False, this sets the isolation mode to True.

Interactive

Gets or sets a value indicating if the build is allowed to interact with the user.

IsolateProjects

Gets or sets a value indicating the isolation mode to use.

LegacyThreadingSemantics

Enables or disables legacy threading semantics

Loggers

The collection of loggers to use during the build.

LogInitialPropertiesAndItems

When true, indicates that the initial properties and items should be logged.

LogTaskInputs

When true, indicates that the task parameters should be logged.

LowPriority

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the build process should run as low priority.

MaxNodeCount

The maximum number of nodes this build may use.

MemoryUseLimit

The amount of memory the build should limit itself to using, in megabytes.

NodeExeLocation

The location of the build node executable.

OnlyLogCriticalEvents

Flag indicating if non-critical logging events should be discarded.

OutputResultsCacheFile

Output cache file where MSBuild will write the contents of its build result caches during EndBuild. If the isolation mode is set to False, this sets the isolation mode to True.

ProjectCacheDescriptor

Gets or sets the project cache description to use for all BuildSubmission or GraphBuildSubmission in addition to any potential project caches described in each project.

ProjectIsolationMode

Gets or sets a value indicating the isolation mode to use.

ProjectLoadSettings
Question

Gets or sets a value that will error when the build process fails an incremental check.

ReportFileAccesses

Gets or sets a value indicating whether file accesses should be reported to any configured project cache plugins.

ResetCaches

Indicates that the build should reset the configuration and results caches.

SaveOperatingEnvironment

Flag indicating if the operating environment such as the current directory and environment be saved and restored between project builds and task invocations. This should be set to false for any other build managers running in the system so that we do not have two build managers trampling on each others environment.

ShutdownInProcNodeOnBuildFinish

Shutdown the inprocess node when the build finishes. By default this is false since visual studio needs to keep the inprocess node around after the build finishes.

ToolsetDefinitionLocations

Locations to search for toolsets.

Toolsets

Returns all of the toolsets.

UICulture

The name of the UI culture to use during the build.

UseSynchronousLogging

By default if the number of processes is set to 1 we will use Asynchronous logging. However if we want to use synchronous logging when the number of cpu's is set to 1 this property needs to be set to true.

WarningsAsErrors

A list of warnings to treat as errors. To treat all warnings as errors, set this to an empty HashSet<T>.

WarningsAsMessages

A list of warnings to treat as low importance messages.

WarningsNotAsErrors

A list of warnings to not treat as errors. Only has any effect if WarningsAsErrors is empty.

Methods

Clone()

Creates a clone of this BuildParameters object. This creates a clone of the logger collections, but does not deep clone the loggers within.

GetToolset(String)

Retrieves a toolset.
