MSBuild Project File Schema Reference - MSBuild

MSBuild project file schema reference

In this article

Provides a table of all the MSBuild XML Schema elements with their available attributes and child elements.

MSBuild uses project files to instruct the build engine what to build and how to build it. MSBuild project files are XML files that adhere to the MSBuild XML schema. This section documents the XML schema definition (.xsd) file for MSBuild.

MSBuild XSD schema definition files

The schema link in an MSBuild project file is not required in Visual Studio 2017 and later. If present, it should be http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003 regardless of the version of Visual Studio. This value is not a live web destination; the most current MSBuild schema definition file (.xsd file) can be found at Microsoft.Build.xsd.

The following table shows links to each version of the XSD schema:

The top-level XSD file includes two other child XSD files, Microsoft.Build.CommonTypes.xsd and Microsoft.Build.Core.xsd. You can also find all the MSBuild XSD schema definition files in the Visual Studio installation folder under Xml\Schemas\1033\MSBuild.

For more about MSBuild versions, including a table of corresponding .NET SDK versions, see Overview of .NET, MSBuild, and Visual Studio versioning.

MSBuild XML schema elements

The following table lists all of the MSBuild XML schema elements along with their child elements and attributes.
