QUICKBUILD LEVEL 2 WINDOWS

When you use this switch, the project isn't built. You can use this switch to more easily determine which files are being imported, from where the files are being imported, and which files contribute to the build. If you include the -maxcpucount switch, multiple nodes can execute concurrently.ĭon't display the startup banner or the copyright message.Ĭreate a single, aggregated project file by inlining all the files that would be imported during a build, with their boundaries marked. Nodes don't remain after the build completes.Ī node corresponds to a project that's executing. Nodes remain after the build finishes so that subsequent builds can use them (default). The following example instructs MSBuild to build using three MSBuild processes, which allows three projects to build at the same time:ĭon't include any MSBuild.rsp or files automatically.Įnable or disable the re-use of MSBuild nodes. For more information, see Building multiple projects in parallel. If you include this switch without specifying a value, MSBuild will use up to the number of processors in the computer. If you don't include this switch, the default value is 1. Specifies the maximum number of concurrent processes to use when building. This is a more restrictive mode of MSBuild as it requires that the project graph be statically discoverable at evaluation time, but can improve scheduling and reduce memory overhead when building a large set of projects. Use the parameter to override a value that comes from a response file.Ĭauses MSBuild to build each project in isolation. Specifying -interactive is the same as specifying -interactive:true. Do not use this argument in an automated scenario where interactivity is not expected. Indicates that actions in the build are allowed to interact with the user. Use a semicolon or a comma to separate multiple extensions, as the following example shows: Ignore the specified extensions when determining which project file to build. Requires MSBuild 16 or later.ĭisplay usage information. Building that graph involves attempting to build project references prior to the projects that reference them, differing from traditional MSBuild scheduling. Constructing a graph involves identifying project references to form dependencies. If True, show detailed information at the end of the build log about the configurations that were built and how they were scheduled to nodes.Ĭauses MSBuild to construct and build a project graph. You can also specify a Visual Studio solution file for this argument. If you don't specify a project file, MSBuild searches the current working directory for a file name extension that ends in proj and uses that file. Syntax MSBuild.exe īuilds the targets in the project file that you specify.

If you run MSBuild from a shell other than the Windows command prompt, lists of arguments to a switch (separated by semicolons or commas) might need single or double quotes to ensure that lists are passed to MSBuild instead of interpreted by the shell. The documentation only shows the -switch form. When you use MSBuild.exe to build a project or solution file, you can include several switches to specify various aspects of the process.Įvery switch is available in two forms: -switch and /switch.
