About this tag
MSBuild is the build platform for Microsoft Visual Studio, used to compile and deploy applications, including C++ projects and UWP controls like XAML Islands. Discussions cover building projects from the command line using the Windows SDK without the full IDE, as well as integrating custom controls into Win32 apps. The tag also relates to Visual Studio extensibility and SDK samples for automating builds and packaging. Common themes include command-line compilation, project file manipulation, and leveraging MSBuild for efficient development workflows on Windows.
