Namespace:  EnvDTE80
Assembly:  EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property BuildDependencies As BuildDependencies
BuildDependencies BuildDependencies { get; }
property BuildDependencies^ BuildDependencies {
    BuildDependencies^ get ();
}
abstract BuildDependencies : BuildDependencies
function get BuildDependencies () : BuildDependencies

Property Value

Type: EnvDTE.BuildDependencies
A BuildDependencies collection.

Implements

SolutionBuild.BuildDependencies

Examples

This example creates a solution and adds a Visual C# console project to the solution. It then displays the number of build dependencies for the project.
