ProjectItemInstance Class

Definition

Wraps an evaluated item for build purposes

public ref class ProjectItemInstance : Microsoft::Build::Framework::ITaskItem2
public class ProjectItemInstance : Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem2
type ProjectItemInstance = class
    interface ITaskItem
    interface ITaskItem2
type ProjectItemInstance = class
    interface ITaskItem2
    interface ITaskItem
Public Class ProjectItemInstance

Remarks

Does not store XML location information. That is not needed by the build process as all correctness checks and evaluation has already been performed, so it is unnecessary bulk.

Properties

DirectMetadataCount

Number of pieces of metadata on this item

EvaluatedInclude

Evaluated include value. May be empty string.

ItemType

Item type, for example "Compile"

Metadata

Unordered collection of evaluated metadata on the item. If there is no metadata, returns an empty collection. Does not include built-in metadata. Includes any from item definitions. This is a read-only collection. To modify the metadata, use SetMetadata(String, String).
