SolutionBuild2.BuildState Property

Gets whether a build has ever been started in the current environment session, whether a build is currently in progress, or whether a build has been completed.

Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property BuildState As vsBuildState

vsBuildState BuildState { get; }

property vsBuildState BuildState {
    vsBuildState get ();
}

abstract BuildState : vsBuildState with get

function get BuildState () : vsBuildState

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.vsBuildState
A vsBuildState value representing the status of the build operation.

Remarks

BuildState has vsBuildStateNotStarted so that you can detect a race condition, a process that starts the environment to do a build and then checks its build state before the build has actually begun. Checking to see if vsBuildState equals vsBuildStateNotStarted allows you to avoid this situation. It also allows you to determine whether the value of the LastBuildInfo property is valid.

Examples

This example determines the build state for each active startup configuration. Open a project in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) before running this add-in.

For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
