Project Constructors

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the Project class.

Overloads

Project()

This default constructor creates a new Project object associated with the global Engine object.

Project(Engine)

Creates an instance of this class for the given engine.

Project(Engine, String)

Creates an instance of this class for the given engine, specifying a tools version to use during builds of this project.

Examples

The following example creates a Project object and uses the BuildItem, BuildPropertyBuildItemGroup, and BuildPropertyGroup classes to list all the items and properties in the project.

Project(Engine, String)

Source:
Project.cs

Creates an instance of this class for the given engine, specifying a tools version to use during builds of this project.

public:
 Project(Microsoft::Build::BuildEngine::Engine ^ engine, System::String ^ toolsVersion);
public Project (Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Engine engine, string toolsVersion);
new Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Project : Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Engine * string -> Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Project
Public Sub New (engine As Engine, toolsVersion As String)

Parameters

engine
Engine

Engine that will build this project. May be null if the global engine is expected.

toolsVersion
String

Tools version to use during builds of this project instance. May be null, in which case we will use the value in the Project's ToolsVersion attribute, or else the engine default value.
