Constructors

GenerateManifestBase()

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Initializes a new instance of the GenerateManifestBase class.

Properties

AssemblyName

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the name of the assembly.

AssemblyVersion

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the assembly version.

BuildEngine

The build engine automatically sets this property to allow tasks to call back into it.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine2

The build engine automatically sets this property to allow tasks to call back into it. This is a convenience property so that task authors inheriting from this class do not have to cast the value from IBuildEngine to IBuildEngine2.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine3

Retrieves the IBuildEngine3 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine4

Retrieves the IBuildEngine4 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine5

Retrieves the IBuildEngine5 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine6

Retrieves the IBuildEngine6 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine7

Retrieves the IBuildEngine7 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine8

Retrieves the IBuildEngine8 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
BuildEngine9

Retrieves the IBuildEngine9 version of the build engine interface provided by the host.

(Inherited from Task)
Description

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the manifest description text.

EntryPoint

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the managed assembly or ClickOnce manifest reference that is the entry point to the manifest.

HelpKeywordPrefix

Gets or sets the prefix used to compose help keywords from string resource names. If a task does not have help keywords associated with its messages, it can ignore this property or set it to null. If the prefix is set to an empty string, then string resource names will be used verbatim as help keywords. For an example of how this prefix is used, see the TaskLoggingHelper.LogErrorWithCodeFromResources(string, object[]) method.

(Inherited from Task)
HostObject

The build engine sets this property if the host IDE has associated a host object with this particular task.

(Inherited from Task)
InputManifest

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the input manifest.

LauncherBasedDeployment
Log

Gets an instance of a TaskLoggingHelper class containing task logging methods. The taskLoggingHelper is a MarshallByRef object which needs to have MarkAsInactive called if the parent task is making the appdomain and marshaling this object into it. If the appdomain is not unloaded at the end of the task execution and the MarkAsInactive method is not called this will result in a leak of the task instances in the appdomain the task was created within.

(Inherited from Task)
MaxTargetPath

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the maximum manifest file name length.

OutputManifest

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the generated manifest.

Platform

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the manifest platform.

TargetCulture

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the manifest target culture code.

TargetFrameworkMoniker

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the target framework moniker.

TargetFrameworkVersion

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

The target .NET Framework version for the project.

TaskResources

Gets or sets the task's culture-specific resources. Derived classes should register their resources either during construction, or via this property, if they have localized strings.
