ManagedExecution

Specifies the execution mode for managed applications.

For backward compatibility, the following string values can also be used in build files:

Value Corresponding field
"true" Auto
"false" Default

Even if set to Default, the operating system can still run the program as a managed application.

On Linux this can be done through binfmt_misc, while on Windows installing the .NET Framework redistributable caused managed applications to run on the MS CLR by default.

Fields

Field Description
Auto Leave it up to the CLR to determine which specific version of the CLR will be used to run the application.
Default Do not threat the program as a managed application.
Strict Forces an application to run against the currently targeted version of a given CLR.

Requirements

Assembly: NAnt.Core (0.90.3780.0)
