Methods

AddCommandLineCommands(CommandLineBuilderExtension)	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Fills the provided CommandLineBuilderExtension with those switches and other information that can't go into a response file and must go directly onto the command line. (Inherited from ToolTaskExtension)
AddResponseFileCommands(CommandLineBuilderExtension)	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Fills the provided CommandLineBuilderExtension with those switches and other information that can go into a response file.
AdjustCommandsForOperatingSystem(String)	Replace backslashes with OS-specific path separators, except when likely that the backslash is intentional. (Inherited from ToolTask)
CallHostObjectToExecute()	We expect the tasks to override this method, if they support host objects. The implementation should call into the host object to perform the real work of the task. For example, for compiler tasks like Csc and Vbc, this method would call Compile() on the host object. (Inherited from ToolTask)
Cancel()	Cancels the process executing the task by asking it to close nicely, then after a short period, forcing termination. (Inherited from ToolTask)
DeleteTempFile(String)	Delete temporary file. If the delete fails for some reason (e.g. file locked by anti-virus) then the call will not throw an exception. Instead a warning will be logged, but the build will not fail. (Inherited from ToolTask)
Execute()	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Executes the `AL` task.
Execute()	Task entry point. (Inherited from TaskRequiresFramework)
ExecuteTool(String, String, String)	Writes out a temporary response file and shell-executes the tool requested. Enables concurrent logging of the output of the tool. (Inherited from ToolTask)
GenerateCommandLineCommands()	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Returns a string with those switches and other information that can't go into a response file and must go directly onto the command line.

The Process object executing the tool calls this method for every line of text that the tool writes to stderr. (Inherited from ToolTask)
ReceiveStandardOutputData(Object, DataReceivedEventArgs)	Queues up the output from the stdout stream of the process executing the tool, and signals the availability of the data. The Process object executing the tool calls this method for every line of text that the tool writes to stdout. (Inherited from ToolTask)
