Property Value

IList<ResolvedImport>

A list of all the files that contributed to the evaluation of this project.

The name of each item is the Import element that caused the file to be imported. The value of each item is the project root of the imported project. Import elements whose Condition attribute evaluated to false are not included.

Remarks

This can be used by the host to figure out what projects might be impacted by a change to a particular file. It could also be used, for example, to find the .user file, and use its ProjectRootElement to modify properties in it.
