PartialClassGenerationTask Class

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Xaml

Assembly:

XamlBuildTask.dll

Accesses XAML files that define types (with x:Class) and generates the corresponding source code that can be compiled into an assembly.

public ref class PartialClassGenerationTask : Microsoft::Build::Utilities::Task

public class PartialClassGenerationTask : Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task

type PartialClassGenerationTask = class
    inherit Task

Public Class PartialClassGenerationTask
Inherits Task

Inheritance

Object

Task

PartialClassGenerationTask

Remarks

The XAML files processed by this task define new types as well as instantiate those types. The PartialClassGenerationTask class reads in the new type definitions and generates source code files. In addition, it generates a XAML file that contains the markup that instantiates the newly generated types.

This task should not be used to consume untrusted XAML inputs.

Constructors

PartialClassGenerationTask()

Initializes a new instance of the PartialClassGenerationTask class.

Properties

ApplicationMarkup	Gets or sets a list of XAML files to process, populated by MS Build.
AssemblyName	Gets or sets the name of the assembly being compiled.
BuildEngine	The build engine automatically sets this property to allow tasks to call back into it. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine2	The build engine automatically sets this property to allow tasks to call back into it. This is a convenience property so that task authors inheriting from this class do not have to cast the value from IBuildEngine to IBuildEngine2. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine3	Retrieves the IBuildEngine3 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine4	Retrieves the IBuildEngine4 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine5	Retrieves the IBuildEngine5 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine6	Retrieves the IBuildEngine6 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine7	Retrieves the IBuildEngine7 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine8	Retrieves the IBuildEngine8 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine9	Retrieves the IBuildEngine9 version of the build engine interface provided by the host. (Inherited from Task)
BuildTaskPath	Gets or sets the path of the assembly that contains this build task.
GeneratedCodeFiles	Gets or sets a list of generated code files, one for each input file.
GeneratedResources	Gets or sets a list of XAML files that contain the markup for instantiating the newly generated types, one for each input file.
GeneratedSourceExtension	Gets or sets the file extension to add to the generated source files.
HelpKeywordPrefix	Gets or sets the prefix used to compose help keywords from string resource names. If a task does not have help keywords associated with its messages, it can ignore this property or set it to null. If the prefix is set to an empty string, then string resource names will be used verbatim as help keywords. For an example of how this prefix is used, see the TaskLoggingHelper.LogErrorWithCodeFromResources(string, object[]) method. (Inherited from Task)
HostObject	The build engine sets this property if the host IDE has associated a host object with this particular task. (Inherited from Task)
IsInProcessXamlMarkupCompile	Gets or sets whether the compilation of XAML markup is in process.
KnownReferencePaths	Gets or sets the known reference paths.
Language	Gets or sets the language to generate source code in.
Log	Gets an instance of a TaskLoggingHelper class containing task logging methods. The taskLoggingHelper is a MarshallByRef object which needs to have MarkAsInactive called if the parent task is making the appdomain and marshaling this object into it. If the appdomain is not unloaded at the end of the task execution and the MarkAsInactive method is not called this will result in a leak of the task instances in the appdomain the task was created within. (Inherited from Task)
MSBuildProjectDirectory	Gets or sets the directory of MS build project.
OutputPath	Gets or sets the directory to place the generated files.
References	Gets or sets a list of assemblies to reference.
RequiresCompilationPass2	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether this project requires executing the CompilationPass2Task task.
RootNamespace	Gets or sets the root namespace for the project.
SourceCodeFiles	Gets or sets a list of source code files in the project.
TaskResources	Gets or sets the task's culture-specific resources. Derived classes should register their resources either during construction, or via this property, if they have localized strings. (Inherited from Task)
XamlBuildTypeGenerationExtensionNames	Gets or sets the collection of extension names used in XAML build type generation.
XamlBuildTypeInspectionExtensionNames	Gets or sets the collection of extension names used in XAML build type inspection.

Methods

Execute()

Called by MS Build to execute the code generation task.
