RequiredRuntimeAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.Build.Framework

Assembly:

Microsoft.Build.Framework.dll

Package:

Microsoft.Build.Framework v17.11.4

Source:

RequiredRuntimeAttribute.cs

When marked with the RequiredRuntimeAttribute, a task indicates that it has stricter runtime requirements than a regular task - this tells MSBuild that it will need to potentially launch a separate process for that task if the current runtime does not match the version requirement. This attribute is currently non-functional since there is only one version of the CLR that is capable of running MSBuild v2.0 or v3.5 - the runtime v2.0

Remarks

A task marked with the RequiredRuntimeAttribute indicates that it has a stricter runtime requirement than a regular task. It alerts MSBuild that it may need to start a separate process for the task if the current CLR runtime version does not match the required version.

Note

This attribute is currently non-functional because only one version of the CLR (2.0) is capable of running either MSBuild version 2.0 or 3.5.
