Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

Note    In order to have VbcTask generate manifest resource names that match those generated by Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, the value of the Prefix attribute of the <ResourcesList> element should match the "Root namespace" of the VB.NET project, and the value of the DynamicPrefix attribute should be set to "false".
