Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Deployment Namespace

  • Article

The Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Deployment namespace contains types that you can use to extend the deployment process for SharePoint projects. For more information about using the types in this namespace, see Extending SharePoint Packaging and Deployment.

Although most of the types in this namespace are interfaces, only the IDeploymentStep interface is intended to be implemented in your code. Implement this interface to define a new deployment step that can be executed when a SharePoint project item is deployed or retracted. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Deployment Step for SharePoint Projects.

You can also create your own deployment configuration by adding a new IDeploymentConfiguration object to the DeploymentConfigurations property of a SharePoint project. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Deployment Step for SharePoint Projects.
