 bool BuildProjectFiles(cli::array <System::String ^> ^ projectFiles, cli::array <cli::array <System::String ^> ^> ^ targetNamesPerProject, cli::array <Microsoft::Build::BuildEngine::BuildPropertyGroup ^> ^ globalPropertiesPerProject, cli::array <System::Collections::IDictionary ^> ^ targetOutputsPerProject, Microsoft::Build::BuildEngine::BuildSettings buildFlags, cli::array <System::String ^> ^ toolsVersions);

public bool BuildProjectFiles (string[] projectFiles, string[][] targetNamesPerProject, Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.BuildPropertyGroup[] globalPropertiesPerProject, System.Collections.IDictionary[] targetOutputsPerProject, Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.BuildSettings buildFlags, string[] toolsVersions);
