Remarks

A Project represents an MSBuild project. It is a container for items, properties and targets. It can load project content from in-memory XML or from an XML file, and can save to an XML file, preserving most whitespace and all XML comments.

Every Project must be associated with an Engine to access shared information. During a build, the Engine object keeps track of which projects are currently building.
