PROJECT | SOLUTION | FILE

The project or solution or C# (file-based app) file to operate on. If a file isn't specified, MSBuild searches the current directory for a project or solution.

  • PROJECT is the path and filename of a C#, F#, or Visual Basic project file, or the path to a directory that contains a C#, F#, or Visual Basic project file.

  • SOLUTION is the path and filename of a solution file (.sln or .slnx extension), or the path to a directory that contains a solution file.

  • FILE is an argument added in .NET 10. The path and filename of a file-based app. File-based apps are contained within a single file that is built and run without a corresponding project (.csproj) file. For more information, see Build file-based C# apps.
