Remarks
Derived classes must also implement the IDisposable interface. Plug-ins are
singletons in nature. The composition container will create instances as needed and will dispose of them
when the container is disposed of.
Properties
| ExecutionPoints | This read-only property returns an enumerable list of execution points that define when the plug-in should be invoked during the build process. |
Methods
| Dispose | Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from IDisposable) |
| Execute | This method is used to execute the plug-in during the build process |
| Initialize | This method is used to initialize the plug-in at the start of the build process |
