CreateProperty()

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Initializes a new instance of the CreateProperty class.

Properties

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)
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	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Gets an instance of a TaskLoggingHelperExtension class containing task logging methods. (Inherited from TaskExtension)
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)
Value	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. The in/out property value.
ValueSetByTask	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. This is to fool MSBuild into not doing its little TLDA trick whereby even if a target is up-to-date, it will still set the properties that were meant to be set using the CreateProperty task. This is because MSBuild is smart enough to figure out the value of the output property without running the task. But if the input parameter is differently named than the output parameter, MSBuild can't be smart enough to do that. This is an important scenario for people who want to know whether a particular target was up-to-date or not.

Methods

Execute()

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Create the property. Since the input property is the same as the output property, this is rather easy.
