FolderLevelBuildProvider Class

Definition

Namespace:

type FolderLevelBuildProvider = class
    inherit ConfigurationElement

Public NotInheritable Class FolderLevelBuildProvider

FolderLevelBuildProvider

Examples

The following example shows how to add a build provider named BuildProvider1 to the Web.config file.

<compilation>  
  <folderLevelBuildProviders>  
    <add type="BuildProvider1, Assembly1,Version=1.0.0.0,    
        PublicKeyToken=xxxxx"/>  
  </folderLevelBuildProviders>  
</compilation>  

Remarks

The ASP.NET build environment uses FolderLevelBuildProvider objects to generate source code for different file types and subfolders in an application. Classes that are derived from the FolderLevelBuildProvider class generate source code for folders such as Bin, App_GlobalResources, App_LocalResources, App_WebReferences, App_Browsers, Theme, and for other custom folders. Typically, you do not create an instance of the FolderLevelBuildProvider class directly. Instead, you implement a class that derives from BuildProvider and apply the FolderLevelBuildProviderAppliesToAttribute class to it, and then configure the derived class for use in the ASP.NET build environment. The FolderLevelBuildProviderAppliesToAttribute class targets folders instead of files.

You use instances of the FolderLevelBuildProvider class together with AssemblyBuilder objects to build one or more files into a compiled assembly. The FolderLevelBuildProvider instance generates source code in the appropriate language for individual files, and the AssemblyBuilder object builds the source code contributed by each FolderLevelBuildProvider instance into a single assembly.

The FolderLevelBuildProvider class is specified in the configuration section of the Web.config file.

Constructors

FolderLevelBuildProvider(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the FolderLevelBuildProvider class by using an identifier and the fully qualified name.
