Microsoft.Build.Framework

This package contains Microsoft.Build.Framework.dll, which defines fundamental types used in MSBuild's API and extensibility model.

The items in this namespace are primarily base-level classes and interfaces shared across MSBuild's object model. MSBuild task or extension developers can reference this package to implement interfaces such as ITask, and ILogger.

netstandard2.0 target

The netstandard2.0 target of this build is configured only to output reference assemblies; at runtime MSBuild will be net10.0 or net472. Please use the net10.0-targeted assemblies for .NET 10+ scenarios.

For context, see https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/pull/6148
