Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IBuildInformation. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
Remarks
Note that build steps are no longer used after Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management 2008 Team Foundation Server and have been replaced with various new information node types, including IBuildMessage, IBuildError, IBuildWarning, and IActivityTracking. Therefore, when you add information nodes to builds which will be primarily viewed from newer clients (for example, Team Foundation Server 2010), these new types are better than IBuildSteps.
