ToolTask.InitializeHostObject Method

Definition

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.

C#
protected virtual Microsoft.Build.Utilities.HostObjectInitializationStatus InitializeHostObject();

Returns

The return value indicates what steps to take next. The default is to assume that there is no host object provided, and therefore we should fallback to calling the command-line tool.
