GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask Class

Definition

An MS Build task that generates a temporary assembly by compiling the source files generated by the PartialClassGenerationTask.

public ref class GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask : Microsoft::Build::Utilities::Task
public class GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask : Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task
type GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask = class
    inherit Task
Public Class GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask
Inherits Task
Inheritance
GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask

Remarks

Any XAML files generated by the PartialClassGenerationTask are added to the temporary assembly as resources.

Constructors

GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask()

Initializes a new instance of the GenerateTemporaryAssemblyTask class.

Properties

ApplicationMarkupTypeName

Gets or sets the build action for the application markup files which are excluded from the project used to generate the temporary assembly.

AssemblyName

Gets or sets the name of the generated assembly.

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)
CompileTargetName

Gets or sets the compilation target name to build in the generated project file used to build the generated temporary assembly.

CurrentProject

Gets or sets the current project file name.

GeneratedResourcesFiles

Gets or sets a list of XAML files that contain the markup for instantiating the newly generated types, one for each input file.

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)
OutputPath

Gets or sets the directory to place the generated files in.

ReferencePaths

Gets or sets the paths to any referenced assemblies specified in the project.

SourceCodeFiles

Gets or sets a list of source code files to compile into a temporary assembly.

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)

Methods

Execute()

Called by MS Build to execute the task.
