A BuildItemGroup object can represent an ItemGroup element in the project, or a virtual collection of items, containing the items created after evaluating wildcards in the Include and Exclude attributes of an Item element.

The following example creates a Project object and uses the LoadXml method to add content to the project. The BuildItem, BuildItemGroup, and BuildItemGroupCollection classes are used to add, remove, and change items in the project.
