dotnet msbuild

       This article applies to: ✔️ .NET Core 3.1 SDK and later versions

NAME

       dotnet-msbuild  -  Builds  a  project  and  all  of its dependencies.  Note: A solution or
       project file may need to be specified if there are multiple.

SYNOPSIS

              dotnet msbuild <MSBUILD_ARGUMENTS>

              dotnet msbuild -h

DESCRIPTION

       The dotnet msbuild command allows access to a fully functional MSBuild.

       The command has the exact same capabilities as the existing  MSBuild  command-line  client
       for  SDK-style  projects  only.  The options are all the same.  For more information about
       the available options, see the MSBuild command-line reference.

       The dotnet build command is equivalent to dotnet msbuild -restore.  When you don’t want to
       build  the  project  and  you  have a specific target you want to run, use dotnet build or
       dotnet msbuild and specify the target.

EXAMPLES

       • Build a project and its dependencies:

                dotnet msbuild

       • Build a project and its dependencies using Release configuration:

                dotnet msbuild -property:Configuration=Release

       • Run the publish target and publish for the osx.10.11-x64 RID:

                dotnet msbuild -target:Publish -property:RuntimeIdentifiers=osx.10.11-x64

       • See the whole project with all targets included by the SDK:

                dotnet msbuild -preprocess
                dotnet msbuild -preprocess:<fileName>.xml
