Constructors

XamlDataDrivenToolTask(String[], ResourceManager)

Constructor called by the generated task.

Properties

AcceptableNonZeroExitCodes

Retrieves the list of acceptable non-zero exit codes.

ActiveToolSwitches

The list of all the switches that have been set

ActiveToolSwitchesValues

Gets or set the dictionary of active tool switch values.

AdditionalOptions

The additional options that have been set. These are raw switches that go last on the command line.

BuildEngine

The build engine automatically sets this property to allow tasks to call back into it.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine2

The build engine automatically sets this property to allow tasks to call back into it. This is a convenience property so that task authors inheriting from this class do not have to cast the value from IBuildEngine to IBuildEngine2.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine3

Retrieves the IBuildEngine3 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine4

Retrieves the IBuildEngine4 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine5

Retrieves the IBuildEngine5 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine6

Retrieves the IBuildEngine6 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine7

Retrieves the IBuildEngine7 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine8

Retrieves the IBuildEngine8 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine9

Retrieves the IBuildEngine9 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
canBeIncremental

ToolTask is not incremental by default. When a derived class overrides SkipTaskExecution, then Question feature can take into effect.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
CommandLineTemplate

The command-line template to use, if any.

EchoOff

When set to true, it passes /Q to the cmd.exe command line such that the command line does not get echo-ed on stdout

(Inherited from ToolTask)
EnvironmentOverride
Obsolete.

Gets the Path override value.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
EnvironmentVariables

Array of equals-separated pairs of environment variables that should be passed to the spawned executable, in addition to (or selectively overriding) the regular environment block.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ExitCode

The return code of the spawned process. If the task logged any errors, but the process had an exit code of 0 (success), this will be set to -1.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
FailIfNotIncremental (Inherited from ToolTask)
HasLoggedErrors

Whether this ToolTask has logged any errors

(Inherited from ToolTask)
HelpKeywordPrefix

Gets or sets the prefix used to compose help keywords from string resource names. If a task does not have help keywords associated with its messages, it can ignore this property or set it to null. If the prefix is set to an empty string, then string resource names will be used verbatim as help keywords. For an example of how this prefix is used, see the TaskLoggingHelper.LogErrorWithCodeFromResources(string, object[]) method.

(Inherited from Task)
HostObject

The build engine sets this property if the host IDE has associated a host object with this particular task.

(Inherited from Task)
Log

Gets an instance of a TaskLoggingHelper class containing task logging methods. The taskLoggingHelper is a MarshallByRef object which needs to have MarkAsInactive called if the parent task is making the appdomain and marshaling this object into it. If the appdomain is not unloaded at the end of the task execution and the MarkAsInactive method is not called this will result in a leak of the task instances in the appdomain the task was created within.

(Inherited from Task)
LogStandardErrorAsError

Should ALL messages received on the standard error stream be logged as errors.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ResponseFileEncoding

Overridden to use UTF16, which works better than UTF8 for older versions of CL, LIB, etc.

StandardErrorEncoding

Overridable property specifying the encoding of the captured task standard error stream

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardErrorImportance

Task Parameter: Importance with which to log text from the standard error stream.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardErrorImportanceToUse

The actual importance at which standard error messages will be logged.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardErrorLoggingImportance

Importance with which to log text from the standard error stream.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardOutputEncoding

Overridable property specifying the encoding of the captured task standard output stream

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardOutputImportance

Task Parameter: Importance with which to log text from the standard out stream.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardOutputImportanceToUse

The actual importance at which standard out messages will be logged.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
StandardOutputLoggingImportance

Importance with which to log text from in the standard out stream.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
TaskProcessTerminationTimeout

A timeout to wait for a task to terminate before killing it. In milliseconds.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
TaskResources

Gets or sets the task's culture-specific resources. Derived classes should register their resources either during construction, or via this property, if they have localized strings.

(Inherited from Task)
Timeout

Project visible property that allows the user to specify an amount of time after which the task executable is terminated.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ToolCanceled

Used to signal when a tool has been cancelled.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ToolExe

Projects may set this to override a task's ToolName. Tasks may override this to prevent that.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ToolName

Implemented by the derived class. Returns a string which is the name of the underlying .EXE to run e.g. "resgen.exe" Only used by the ToolExe getter.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ToolPath

Project-visible property allows the user to override the path to the executable.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
UseCommandProcessor

When set to true, the tool task will create a batch file for the command-line and execute that using the command-processor, rather than executing the command directly.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
UseUtf8Encoding

Whether or not to use UTF8 encoding for the cmd file and console window. Values: Always, Never, Detect If set to Detect, the current code page will be used unless it cannot represent the Command string. In that case, UTF-8 is used.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
YieldDuringToolExecution

When set to true, this task will yield the node when its task is executing.

(Inherited from ToolTask)

Methods

AddActiveSwitchToolValue(CommandLineToolSwitch)

Add the value for a switch to the list of active values

AdjustCommandsForOperatingSystem(String)

Replace backslashes with OS-specific path separators, except when likely that the backslash is intentional.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
CallHostObjectToExecute()

We expect the tasks to override this method, if they support host objects. The implementation should call into the host object to perform the real work of the task. For example, for compiler tasks like Csc and Vbc, this method would call Compile() on the host object.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
Cancel()

Cancels the process executing the task by asking it to close nicely, then after a short period, forcing termination.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
CreateSwitchValue(String, String, String, Tuple<String,Boolean>[])

Gets a switch value by concatenating the switch's base value (usually the switch itself) with its argument, if any.

DeleteTempFile(String)

Delete temporary file. If the delete fails for some reason (e.g. file locked by anti-virus) then the call will not throw an exception. Instead a warning will be logged, but the build will not fail.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
Execute()

Override Execute so that we can close the event handle we've created

ExecuteTool(String, String, String)

Writes out a temporary response file and shell-executes the tool requested. Enables concurrent logging of the output of the tool.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
GenerateCommandLineCommands()

Generate the command line if it is less than 32k.

GenerateFullPathToTool()

This method is called to find the tool if ToolPath wasn't specified. We just return the name of the tool so it can be found on the path. Deriving classes can choose to do something else.

GenerateResponseFileCommands()

Creates the command line and returns it as a string by:

  1. Adding all switches with the default set to the active switch list
  2. Customizing the active switch list (overridden in derived classes)
  3. Iterating through the list and appending switches
GetProcessStartInfo(String, String, String)

Initializes the information required to spawn the process executing the tool.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
GetResponseFileSwitch(String)

Returns the command line switch used by the tool executable to specify the response file. Will only be called if the task returned a non empty string from GetResponseFileCommands Called after ValidateParameters, SkipTaskExecution and GetResponseFileCommands

(Inherited from ToolTask)
GetWorkingDirectory()

Gets the working directory to use for the process. Should return null if ToolTask should use the current directory.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
HandleTaskExecutionErrors()

Allows tool to handle the return code. This method will only be called with non-zero exitCode. If the non zero code is an acceptable one then we return true

InitializeHostObject()

We expect tasks to override this method if they support host objects. The implementation should make sure that the host object is ready to perform the real work of the task.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
IsPropertySet(String)

Returns true if the property has a value in the list of active tool switches

LogEventsFromTextOutput(String, MessageImportance)

Calls a method on the TaskLoggingHelper to parse a single line of text to see if there are any errors or warnings in canonical format. This can be overridden by the derived class if necessary.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
LogPathToTool(String, String)

Logs the tool name and the path from where it is being run.

(Inherited from ToolTask)
LogToolCommand(String)

Logs the actual command line about to be executed (or what the task wants the log to show)

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ProcessStarted()

Overridable function called after Start() in ExecuteTool(String, String, String)

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ReadSwitchMap(String, String[][], String)

A method for the enumerated values a property can have This method checks the value a property is set to, and finds the corresponding switch

ReadSwitchMap2(String, Tuple<String,String,Tuple<String,Boolean>[]>[], String)

A method for the enumerated values a property can have This method checks the value a property is set to, and finds the corresponding switch

ReplaceToolSwitch(CommandLineToolSwitch)

Replace an existing switch with the specifed one of the same name.

ResponseFileEscape(String)

Overridable method to escape content of the response file

(Inherited from ToolTask)
SkipTaskExecution()

Returns true if task execution is not necessary. Executed after ValidateParameters

(Inherited from ToolTask)
ValidateInteger(String, Int32, Int32, Int32)

A method that will validate the integer type arguments If the min or max is set, and the value a property is set to is not within the range, the build fails

ValidateParameters()

Validates all of the set properties that have either a string type or an integer type
