Syntax

public abstract class CompilerBase : ExternalProgramBase, IConditional

Fields

Name Constant Value Summary
CodebehindExtensions
Contains a list of extensions for all file types that should be treated as 'code-behind' when looking for resources. Ultimately this will determine if we use the "namespace+filename" or "namespace+classname" algorithm, since code-behind will use the "namespace+classname" algorithm.
static
CultureNames
Case-insensitive list of valid culture names for this platform.
static
UnknownExitCode -1000
Defines the exit code that will be returned by NAnt.Core.Tasks.ExternalProgramBase.ExitCode if the process could not be started, or did not exit (in time).
Inherited from ExternalProgramBase

SupportsDelaySign bool
Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports the "delaysign" option. The default is false.
