Remarks

Note that build steps are no longer used after Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server and have been replaced with various new information node types, including IBuildMessage, IBuildError, IBuildWarning, and IActivityTracking. As such, when adding information nodes to builds which will primarily be viewed from newer clients (for example, Team Foundation Server 2010), these new types are preferable to IBuildSteps.
