Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
The ChooseTask selects one among a number of possible alternatives. It consists of a sequence of <when>
elements followed by an optional <otherwise>
element.
Each <when>
element has a single attribute, test, which specifies an expression. The content of the <when>
and <otherwise>
elements is a set of nested tasks.
The content of the first, and only the first, <when>
element whose test is true is executed. If no <when>
element is true, the content of the <otherwise>
element is executed. If no <when>
element is true, and no <otherwise>
element is present, nothing is done.
Execute alternate set of tasks depending on the configuration being built.
<choose> <when test="${build.config == 'Debug'}"> <!-- compile app in debug configuration --> ... </when> <when test="${build.config == 'Release'}"> <!-- compile app in release configuration --> ... </when> <otherwise> <fail>Build configuration '${build.config}' is not supported!</fail> </otherwise> </choose>
Define a sources
patternset holding an alternate set of patterns depending on the configuration being built.
<choose> <when test="${build.config == 'Debug'}"> <patternset id="sources"> <include name="**/*.cs" /> </patternset> </when> <when test="${build.config == 'Release'}"> <patternset id="sources"> <include name="**/*.cs" /> <exclude name="**/Instrumentation/*.cs" /> </patternset> </when> <otherwise> <fail>Build configuration '${build.config}' is not supported!</fail> </otherwise> </choose>
