# RcTask Members

RcTask overview

#### Public Instance Constructors

RcTask Constructor | Initializes a new instance of the RcTask class.

#### 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.
Defines | Macro definitions to pass to rc.exe. Each entry will generate a /d
ErrorWriter (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets or sets the TextWriter to which error output of the external program will be written.
ExeName (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.
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.
IfDefined (inherited from Task) | If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.
IncludeDirs | The list of directories in which to search for include files.
LangId | Default language ID.
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.
Options | Options to pass to the compiler.
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.
OutputFile | Output file.
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.
ProgramArguments | Arguments of program to execute
ProgramFileName | Filename of program to execute
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.
RcFile | The resource file to compile.
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.
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.
Verbose (inherited from Task) | Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.

#### Public Instance Methods

Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
Execute (inherited from Task) | Executes the task unless it is skipped.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
GetLocation (inherited from Element) | Retrieves the location in the build file where the element is defined.
GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance.
Initialize (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Performs default initialization.
InitializeTaskConfiguration (inherited from Task) | Initializes the configuration of the task using configuration settings retrieved from the NAnt configuration file.
IsLogEnabledFor (inherited from Task) | Determines whether build output is enabled for the given Level.
Log (inherited from Task) | Overloaded. Logs a message with the given priority.
ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object.

#### 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.
ProcessId (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Gets the unique identifier for the spawned application.
XmlNode (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the XML node of the element.

#### Protected Instance Methods

CopyTo (inherited from Element) | Copies all instance data of the Element to a given Element.
ExecuteTask | Compile the resource file
Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
GetAttributeConfigurationNode (inherited from Task) | Overloaded. Locates the XML node for the specified attribute in either the configuration section of the extension assembly or the.project.
GetAttributeConfigurationNode (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Locates the XML node for the specified attribute in the project configuration node.
Initialize (inherited from Task) | Overloaded. Initializes the task.
InitializeElement (inherited from Element) | Obsolete. Derived classes should override to this method to provide extra initialization and validation not covered by the base class.
InitializeTask (inherited from Task) | Obsolete. Initializes the task.
InitializeXml (inherited from Element) | Initializes all build attributes and child elements.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
NeedsCompiling | Determines if the resource need compiling.
PrepareProcess (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Updates the ProcessStartInfo of the specified Process.
StartProcess (inherited from ExternalProgramBase) | Starts the process and handles errors.
