<al> Task

All specified sources will be embedded using the /embed flag. Other source types are not supported.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
output	file	The name of the output file for the assembly manifest.	True
target	string	The target type (one of `lib`, `exe`, or `winexe`).	True
algid	string	Specifies an algorithm (in hexadecimal) to hash all files in a multifile assembly except the file that contains the assembly manifest. The default algorithm is CALG_SHA1.	False
company	string	Specifies a string for the Company field in the assembly.	False
configuration	string	Specifies a string for the Configuration field in the assembly.	False
copyright	string	Specifies a string for the Copyright field in the assembly.	False
culture	string	The culture string associated with the output assembly. The string must be in RFC 1766 format, such as "en-US".	False
delaysign	DelaySign	Specifies whether the assembly should be partially signed. The default is NAnt.DotNet.Types.DelaySign.NotSet.	False
description	string	Specifies a string for the Description field in the assembly.	False
evidence	file	Security evidence file to embed.	False
fileversion	string	Specifies a string for the File Version field in the assembly.	False
flags	string	Specifies a value (in hexadecimal) for the Flags field in the assembly.	False
keycontainer	string	Specifies a container that holds a key pair.	False
keyfile	file	Specifies a file (filename) that contains a key pair or just a public key to sign an assembly.	False
main	string	Specifies the fully-qualified name (class.method) of the method to use as an entry point when converting a module to an executable file.	False
product	string	Specifies a string for the Product field in the assembly.	False
productversion	string	Specifies a string for the Product Version field in the assembly.	False
template	file	Specifies an assembly from which to get all options except the culture field.	False
title	string	Specifies a string for the Title field in the assembly.	False
trademark	string	Specifies a string for the Trademark field in the assembly.	False
version	string	Specifies version information for the assembly. The format of the version string is `major`.`minor`.`build`.`revision`.	False
win32icon	file	Icon to associate with the assembly.	False
win32res	file	Inserts a Win32 resource (.res file) in the output file.	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
managed	ManagedExecution	Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR.	False
supportstemplate	bool	Indicates whether the assembly linker for a given target framework supports the "template" option, which takes an assembly from which to get all options except the culture field. The default is true.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Deprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```
