public:
 int SaveDocumentsBeforeBuild(Microsoft::VisualStudio::Shell::Interop::IVsHierarchy ^ pHier, unsigned int itemid, unsigned int docCookie);

int SaveDocumentsBeforeBuild(Microsoft::VisualStudio::Shell::Interop::IVsHierarchy const & pHier, unsigned int itemid, unsigned int docCookie);

public int SaveDocumentsBeforeBuild (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsHierarchy pHier, uint itemid, uint docCookie);

Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsSolutionBuildManager2::SaveDocumentsBeforeBuild(

If a project implements its own build/run mechanism to support a more granular level than the entire project, the project calls this method to ensure that the environment saves its buildable or runnable components before it starts building or running.

This method respects the user setting given by the VSSPROPID_PreBuildRunPreview environment property and will prompt for save or don't save accordingly.

Also documents registered with RDT_CanBuildFromMemory will not be saved.
