Performs multiple updates on an XML file XmlMassUpdate allows to to specify multiple changes to make to an XML file (the . By default, the changes are applied to the , but you can create a new file by providing the attribute. The change instructions are specified using XML in the . If the does not mirror the structure of the exactly, you can specify the and XPath expressions which determine how the files should be mapped to each other. Any element within the will find the corresponding element in the . If it does not exist, it will be created with all of its attributes. If it does exist, the attributes will be added or updated as specified. Any attribute declared within the will not be copied to the modified file. Valid attributes are key and action. The key attribute allows you to define an attribute to use as the identifying attribute when you only want to update a single element, and multiple elements with the same name exist. You can also use the action="remove" attribute to specify that an element should be deleted instead of updated. These examples will demonstrate how to make multiple updates to a XML file named web.config. It looks like: ]]> You can update the file using instructions from an external file (specified as the ): ]]> The is named changes.xml and contains: ]]> You can also provide the update instructions within the MSBuild project file itself. It takes advantage of the MSBuild ProjectExtensions element which allows you to add XML to a project file that will be ignored by the MSBuild engine. This example also demonstrates how to use : ]]> The following example demonstrates how to deal with "keyed" elements. When you need to update an element, and multiple elements exist with the same name, it must be be differentied by one of its attributes. You designate the differentiating attribute using the "key" attribute declared in the . If an element matching the keyed attribute is not found, a new element will be created (DefaultSort in the example). This example also demonstrates creating a new file with the merged changes instead of modifying the original file. ]]> Using a changes.xml file with the following contents: ]]> Use a changes.xml file with the following contents to demonstrate how to remove an element from the updated file: ]]> You can also specify the changes to apply from within the target document. By making use of the property, you can store multiple sets of changes to apply based on runtime conditions. Consider the following source web.config file: ]]> You could use the following task definition, which relies on a property "TargetEnvironment" to determine which set of changes to apply: ]]> You will need to provide a value of "test" or "prod" to the TargetEnvironment property. The property can be defined in a PropertyGroup section of the MSBuild file, or passed as a command-line parameter. When overridden in a derived class, executes the task.

The default value is null. Gets or sets the flag to indicate whether to augment the list of input assemblies to its "transitive closure". An assembly is considered part of the transitive closure if it is referenced, either directly or indirectly, from one of the originally specified input assemblies and it has an external reference to one of the input assemblies, or one of the assemblies that has such a reference. Corresponds to command line option "/closed". The default value is false. Gets or sets the flag to indicate whether to copy the assembly level attributes of each input assembly over into the target assembly. Any duplicate attribute overwrites a previously copied attribute. The input assemblies are processed in the order they are specified. This parameter is mutually exclusive with . Corresponds to command line option "/copyattrs". The default value is false. Gets or sets the flag to indicate whether to preserve any .pdb files that are found for the input assemblies into a .pdb file for the target assembly. Corresponds to command line option "/ndebug".

Corresponds to command line option "/delaysign". The default value is false. Gets or sets the file that will be used to identify types that are not to have their visibility modified. If an empty item group is provided, then all types in any assembly other than the primary assembly are made non-public. Omit this parameter to prevent ILMerge from modifying the visibility of any types. The contents of the file should be one per line. The regular expressions are matched against each type's full name, e.g., System.Collections.IList. If the match fails, it is tried again with the assembly name (surrounded by square brackets) prepended to the type name. Thus, the pattern \[A\].* excludes all types in assembly A from being made non-public.
