BuildEngine2 | Optional IBuildEngine2 parameter. Specifies the build engine interface available to tasks. The build engine automatically sets this parameter 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 . |
BuildEngine3 | Optional IBuildEngine3 parameter. Specifies the build engine interface provided by the host. |
