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

DisposePerforms 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
