Namespace:   Microsoft.Build.Framework
Assembly:  Microsoft.Build.Framework (in Microsoft.Build.Framework.dll)

void SetMetadataValueLiteral(
	String^ metadataName,
	String^ metadataValue
)

Parameters

metadataName
Type: System::String^

The metadata name.

metadataValue

Taking the opportunity to fix the property name, although this doesn't make it obvious it's an improvement on SetMetadata.
