ToolTask Class

  • 發行項

When overridden in a derived form, provides functionality for a task that wraps a command line tool.

MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.
