• Visual Studio Team System Getting Constructor Passed Parameters

  I've cast an SqlParameter Newobj opcode's Value parameter to an InstanceInitializer class. I'm trying to find out if the second passed parameter in the constructor is of type HttpContext. I could do this by walking the IL around the Newobj instruction, but I'm wondering if there's a simpler way using the Parameters collection of the Instance Initializer class. I have tried: InstanceInitializer createdObj = methodInstructions //emoticons/emotion-55.gif" alt="Idea" />.Value as InstanceInitializer; // Some checking of number of parameters, etc here if(createdObj.Parameters[1].Type.DeclaringType.Name.Name == "HttpContext") {   & ...Show All

Using the file Not sure what you mean here - but MSBuild is a build engine that is used for building managed applications, and Visual Studio uses it as the build engine for building your applications. MSBuild allows you to also build your projects without having Visual Studio installed - and this is ideal when you want to run your builds on a build box that does not have VS installed. That's only the 50,000 foot view - for more details on MSBuild, you can refer to the MSBuild docum ...Show All
