Properties

	Name	Description
	AllChildren	Gets a recursive depth-first enumerator over all child elements.MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.
	AllParents	All parent elements of this element, going up to the ProjectRootElement. None if this is a ProjectRootElement. None if this has not been attached to a parent yet.MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0. (Inherited from ProjectElement.)
