ElementLocation Class
The location of an XML node in a file.
Any editing of the project XML through the MSBuild API's will invalidate locations in that XML until the XML is reloaded.
MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.

Remarks
This object is IMMUTABLE, so that it can be passed around arbitrarily.
DO NOT make these objects any larger. There are huge numbers of them and they are transmitted between nodes.
