The IVsSolutionBuildManager2 type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AdviseUpdateSolutionEvents	Adds the caller to the list of listeners for IVsUpdateSolutionEvents2 events.
	CalculateProjectDependencies	Forces dependencies to be recalculated.
	CanCancelUpdateSolutionConfiguration	Enables or disables the Cancel menu item.
	CancelUpdateSolutionConfiguration	Cancels the update solution configuration.
	DebugLaunch	Launches the startup project specified by the solution as the debug project.
	FindActiveProjectCfg	Determines the project configuration that is currently active.
	get_CodePage	Obsolete method. Do not use.
	get_IsDebug	Obsolete method. Do not use.
	get_StartupProject	Programmatic method to get the startup project that will be run when the F5 key is pressed.
	GetProjectDependencies	Returns a list of projects that the given hierarchy depends on.
	put_CodePage	Obsolete method. Do not use.
	put_IsDebug	Obsolete method. Do not use.
	QueryBuildManagerBusy	Determines if the build manager is busy.
	QueryDebugLaunch	Determines whether or not the F5 (debug start) key should be enabled.
	QueryProjectDependency	Checks to see if one project is dependent upon another.
	SaveDocumentsBeforeBuild	A project calls this method to ensure that the buildable/runnable components of projects are saved before starting build or run operations.
	set_StartupProject	Sets the startup project that will be run when the F5 key is pressed.
	StartSimpleUpdateProjectConfiguration	This is a variant of the update command that allows you to build, clean, deploy, or launch a single project configuration.
	StartSimpleUpdateSolutionConfiguration	Builds, cleans, or deploys a list of solutions.
	StartUpdateProjectConfigurations	Builds, cleans, or deploys a list of projects.
	StartUpdateSpecificProjectConfigurations	Use this method to maintain total control of a build process.
	UnadviseUpdateSolutionEvents	Removes the caller from the list of listeners for IVsUpdateSolutionEvents2 events.
	UpdateSolutionConfigurationIsActive	Checks for any build, clean, or deploy action in progress.

Remarks

Implemented by the environment, IVsSolutionBuildManager and IVsSolutionBuildManager2 orchestrate the building of projects within the solution. The solution build manager manages the set of dependencies between projects at the project level and will build those projects in the correct order based on those dependencies.

Solution build dependencies are set using the Solution Configuration property pages. The projects themselves supply the build system with information relating to their own items and the dependencies between those items.

Project build dependencies are set using the Project Configuration property pages. For more information relating to Property Pages and setting configurations, see Property Pages and Managing Configuration Options.

Other callers of this interface would be packages providing add-ins that want to control the build process and programmatically cause some build operations to occur at specific times. For example, the debug component of the environment calls QueryDebugLaunch to programmatically enable and disable the F5 key, and DebugLaunch to start the debug process that was set as the solution startup project.

Notes to Implementers

Implemented by the environment.

Notes to Callers

Called by the environment or a parent project that needs to manage build operations for child (nested) projects. There could also be other interested packages that want to track build events, so they would call AdviseUpdateSolutionEvents to listen for and react to those build events.

You can obtain an IVsSolutionBuildManager2 interface from the SVsSolutionBuildManager service.
