CommandLineBuilder.AppendSwitchUnquotedIfNotNull Method (String, array<String , String)

Appends the command line with a switch that takes an array of string parameters, without attempting to encapsulate switch parameters with quotation marks.

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.

Parameters

  • switchName
    Type: System.String

    The name of the switch to append to the command line. This value cannot be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

  • parameters
    Type: array<System.String[]

    An array of switch parameters to append to the command line. Quotation marks will not be added. If the array is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), then this method has no effect.

  • delimiter
    Type: System.String

    The delimiter that separates individual parameters. This value can be empty, but it cannot be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If the command line is not empty, then this method also appends the command line with a space, before the switch.

Examples

AppendSwitchUnquotedIfNotNull("/sources:", new string[] {"Alpha.cs", "Be ta.cs"}, ";") yields /sources:Alpha.cs;Be ta.cs.
