# AbstractSourceControlTask Properties

The properties of the AbstractSourceControlTask class are listed below. For a complete list of AbstractSourceControlTask class members, see the AbstractSourceControlTask Members topic.

#### Public Instance Properties

Arguments (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | The command-line arguments for the external program.
BaseDirectory (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the working directory for the application.
CommandLine (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the command-line arguments, separated by spaces.
CommandLineArguments | Command-line arguments for the program. The command line arguments are used to specify any cvs command options that are not available as attributes. These are appended after the command itself and are additive to whatever attributes are currently specified.
CommandName | The name of the command that is going to be executed.
CommandOptions | A collection of options that can be used to modify the default behavoir of the version control commands. See the sub-tasks for implementation specifics.
DestinationDirectory | Destination directory for the local sandbox. If destination is not specified then the current directory is used.
ErrorWriter (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets or sets the TextWriter to which error output of the external program will be written.
ExeName | The name of the version control system executable.
ExitCode (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the value that the process specified when it terminated.
FailOnError (inherited from Task) | Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.
GlobalOptions | Holds a collection of globally available options.
IfDefined (inherited from Task) | If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.
LogPrefix (inherited from Task) | Obsolete. The prefix used when sending messages to the log.
Managed (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | 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.
Name (inherited from Task) | The name of the task.
NamespaceManager (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the XmlNamespaceManager.
Output (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the file to which the standard output should be redirected.
OutputAppend (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets a value indicating whether output will be appended to the Output.
OutputWriter (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets or sets the TextWriter to which standard output messages of the external program will be written.
Parent (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the parent of the element.
PassFile | The full path to the cached password file. If not specified then the environment variables are used to try and locate the file.
Password | Obsolete. The password for logging in to the repository.
ProgramArguments | Get the command line arguments for the task.
ProgramFileName (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the filename of the external program to start.
Project (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the Project to which this element belongs.
Properties (inherited from Element) | Gets the properties local to this Element and the Project.
Root | The root variable contains information on how to locate a repository. Although this information is in different formats it typically must define the following:
server location
protocol used to communicate with the repository
repository location on the server
project location in the repository
Spawn (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets or sets a value indicating whether the application should be spawned. If you spawn an application, its output will not be logged by NAnt. The default is false.
Ssh | The executable to use for ssh communication.
Threshold (inherited from Task) | Gets or sets the log threshold for this Task. By default the threshold of a task is Debug, causing no messages to be filtered in the task itself.
TimeOut (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.
UnlessDefined (inherited from Task) | Opposite of IfDefined. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.
UseRuntimeEngine (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Obsolete. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.
VcsFileSet | Used to specify the version control system (VCS) files that are going to be acted on.
Verbose (inherited from Task) | Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.

#### Protected Instance Properties

CustomXmlProcessing (inherited from Element) | Gets a value indicating whether the element is performing additional processing using the XmlNode that was used to initialize the element.
Location (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the location in the build file where the element is defined.
PassFileName | The name of the passfile, overriden for each version control system (VCS).
ProcessId (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the unique identifier for the spawned application.
SshEnv | The environment name for the ssh variable.
VcsExeName | The name of the version control system (VCS) executable file.
VcsHome | The path to the specific home directory of the version control system, this can be where the binary files are kept, or other app information.
VcsHomeEnv | The environment variable that defines where the version control system (VCS) home variable is kept.
XmlNode (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the XML node of the element.
