Loads the specified project file and builds the project.

Overloads

BuildProjectFile(String, String[], BuildPropertyGroup, IDictionary, BuildSettings, String)	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified list of targets. This overload takes a set of global properties to use for the build, returns the target outputs, and also allows the caller to specify additional build flags.
BuildProjectFile(String, String[], BuildPropertyGroup, IDictionary, BuildSettings)	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified list of targets. This overload takes a set of global properties to use for the build, returns the target outputs, and also allows the caller to specify additional build flags.
BuildProjectFile(String, String[], BuildPropertyGroup)	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified list of targets. This overload takes a set of global properties to use for the build.
BuildProjectFile(String, String[], BuildPropertyGroup, IDictionary)	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified list of targets. This overload takes a set of global properties to use for the build and returns the target outputs.
BuildProjectFile(String, String)	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified target.
BuildProjectFile(String)	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the default targets.
BuildProjectFile(String, String[])	Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified list of targets.

Examples

The following example creates an Engine object and uses the BuildProjectFile method to build a project file. The FileLogger class is used to log information to a file.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine;

namespace BuildAProjectCS
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Instantiate a new Engine object
            Engine engine = new Engine();

            // Point to the path that contains the .NET Framework 2.0 CLR and tools
            engine.BinPath = @"c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.xxxxx";

            // Instantiate a new FileLogger to generate build log
            FileLogger logger = new FileLogger();

            // Set the logfile parameter to indicate the log destination
            logger.Parameters = @"logfile=C:\temp\build.log";

            // Register the logger with the engine
            engine.RegisterLogger(logger);

            // Build a project file
            bool success = engine.BuildProjectFile(@"c:\temp\validate.proj");

            //Unregister all loggers to close the log file
            engine.UnregisterAllLoggers();

            if (success)
                Console.WriteLine("Build succeeded.");
            else
                Console.WriteLine(@"Build failed. View C:\temp\build.log for details");
        }
    }

BuildProjectFile(String, String[], BuildPropertyGroup, IDictionary, BuildSettings, String)

Source:: Engine.cs

Loads a project file from disk, and builds the specified list of targets. This overload takes a set of global properties to use for the build, returns the target outputs, and also allows the caller to specify additional build flags.

public:
 bool BuildProjectFile(System::String ^ projectFile, cli::array <System::String ^> ^ targetNames, Microsoft::Build::BuildEngine::BuildPropertyGroup ^ globalProperties, System::Collections::IDictionary ^ targetOutputs, Microsoft::Build::BuildEngine::BuildSettings buildFlags, System::String ^ toolsVersion);

public bool BuildProjectFile (string projectFile, string[] targetNames, Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.BuildPropertyGroup globalProperties, System.Collections.IDictionary targetOutputs, Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.BuildSettings buildFlags, string toolsVersion);

member this.BuildProjectFile : string * string[] * Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.BuildPropertyGroup * System.Collections.IDictionary * Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.BuildSettings * string -> bool

Public Function BuildProjectFile (projectFile As String, targetNames As String(), globalProperties As BuildPropertyGroup, targetOutputs As IDictionary, buildFlags As BuildSettings, toolsVersion As String) As Boolean

Parameters

projectFile: String

targetNames: String[]

Can be null, if caller wants to build the default targets for the project.

globalProperties: BuildPropertyGroup

Can be null if no global properties are needed.

targetOutputs: IDictionary

Can be null if outputs are not needed.

buildFlags: BuildSettings

Specifies additional options to alter the behavior of the build.

toolsVersion: String

Tools version to impose on the project in this build

Returns

Boolean

true, if build succeeds

Remarks

If this project file is already in our list of in-progress projects, we use the existing Project object instead of instantiating a new one. Always use this method to build projects within projects, otherwise the build won't be optimized.
