RequiredRuntimeAttribute Class

Defines the metadata attribute that task authors use to identify whether the task requires a specific version of the CLR runtime.

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.

Remarks

A task marked with the RequiredRuntimeAttribute indicates that it has a stricter runtime requirement than a regular task. It alerts MSBuild that it may need to start a separate process for the task if the current CLR runtime version does not match the required version.

Note

This attribute is currently non-functional because only one version of the CLR (2.0) is capable of running either MSBuild version 2.0 or 3.5.

For more information about using attributes, see Extending Metadata Using Attributes.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
