	String^ name, 
	String^ message, 
	DateTime startTime
)

Parameters

build
Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client::IBuildDetail

The build to which the build step will be added.

name
Type: System::String

The name of the build step to be added.

message
Type: System::String

The message of the build step to be added.

The start time of the build step to be added.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client::IBuildStep
The added build step instance.

Note that build steps are no longer used after Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management 2008 Team Foundation Server and have been replaced with various new information node types, including IBuildMessage, IBuildError, IBuildWarning, and IActivityTracking. Therefore, when you add information nodes to builds which will be primarily viewed from newer clients (for example, Team Foundation Server 2010), these new types are better than IBuildSteps.
