MSBuild is the build platform for Microsoft and Visual Studio. This walkthrough introduces you to the building blocks of MSBuild and shows you how to write, manipulate, and debug MSBuild projects. You will learn about: • Creating and manipulating a project file.

• How to use build properties • How to use build items. You can run MSBuild from Visual Studio, or from the Command Window.

In this walkthrough, you create an MSBuild project file using Visual Studio. You edit the project file in Visual Studio, and use a Command Window to build the project and examine the results. The Visual Studio project system is based on MSBuild. This makes it easy to create a new project file using Visual Studio. In this section, you create a Visual C# project file.

You can choose to create a Visual Basic project file instead. In the context of this walkthrough, the difference between the two project files is minor.

To create a project file • Open Visual Studio. • On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project. • In the New Project dialog box, select the Visual C# project type, and then select the Windows Forms Application template. In the Name box, type BuildApp. Enter a Location for the solution, for example, D:.

Accept the defaults for Create directory for solution (selected), Add to Source Control (not selected), and Solution Name ( BuildApp). Click OK to create the project file.

In the previous section, you used Visual Studio to create a Visual C# project file. The project file is represented in Solution Explorer by the project node named BuildApp.

You can use the Visual Studio code editor to examine the project file. To examine the project file • In Solution Explorer, click the project node BuildApp. • In the Properties browser, notice that the Project File property is BuildApp.csproj.

All project files are named with the suffix 'proj'. If you had created a Visual Basic project, the project file name would be BuildApp.vbproj. • Right-click the project node, then click Unload Project. • Right-click the project node again, then click Edit BuildApp.csproj.

The project file appears in the code editor. You must specify the xmlns namespace in the Project element. The work of building an application is done with and elements. • A task is the smallest unit of work, in other words, the 'atom' of a build. Tasks are independent executable components which may have inputs and outputs.

There are no tasks currently referenced or defined in the project file. You add tasks to the project file in the sections below. For more information, see the topic. Kumpulan aplikasi efek gitar di pv.

• A target is a named sequence of tasks. There are two targets at the end of the project file that are currently enclosed in HTML comments: BeforeBuild and AfterBuild. Run MSBuild from the Visual Studio Command Prompt to build the HelloWorld target defined above.

Use the /target or /t command line switch to select the target. Note We will refer to the Visual Studio Command Prompt as the Command Window in the sections below. To build the target • Click Start, then click All Programs. Locate and click the Visual Studio Command Prompt in the Visual Studio Tools folder.

• From the command window, navigate to the folder containing the project file, in this case, D: BuildApp BuildApp. • Run msbuild with the command switch /t:HelloWorld. This selects and builds the HelloWorld target. Hello World Note If instead you see The target 'HelloWorld' does not exist in the project then you probably forgot to save the project file in the code editor. Save the file and try again. By alternating between the code editor and the command window, you can change the project file and quickly see the results.

Note If you run msbuild without the /t command switch, msbuild builds the target given by the DefaultTarget attribute of the Project element, in this case 'Build'. This builds the Windows Forms application BuildApp.exe. Configuration is Debug MSBuildToolsPath is C: Program Files MSBuild 12.0 bin Note If you don't see these lines then you probably forgot to save the project file in the code editor. Save the file and try again. Conditional Properties Many properties like Configuration are defined conditionally, that is, the Condition attribute appears in the property element.
