Syntax

public static class CSharpHostingBuilderExtensions

Methods

AddZptCSharpExpressions(IBuildsHostingEnvironment, Action<IConfiguresCSharpExpressionGlobals>)

Adds service registrations to the builder in order to enable the use of ZPT "csharp" expressions.

Declaration

public static IBuildsHostingEnvironment AddZptCSharpExpressions(this IBuildsHostingEnvironment builder, Action<IConfiguresCSharpExpressionGlobals> configAction = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IBuildsHostingEnvironment	builder	The self-hosting builder.
System.Action<IConfiguresCSharpExpressionGlobals>	configAction	An optional action permitting some global configuration of the C# expression evaluation.

Returns

Type	Description
IBuildsHostingEnvironment	The self-hosting builder instance, after setting it up.

Remarks

As well as the primary "csharp" expression, there are three other expression types which are activated by this method. In total, the expression evaluators registered by this type are:

• AssemblyReferenceEvaluator using the prefix assemblyref
• UsingNamespaceEvaluator using the prefix using
• VariableTypeEvaluator using the prefix type
• CSharpExpressionEvaluator using the prefix csharp

Additionally, an optional configuration action/callback may be supplied. If used, the IConfiguresCSharpExpressionGlobals may be used to add-to the lists of assembly references and 'using' namespaces which are available to all "csharp" expressions, whether they have been added explicitly via "assemblyref" or "using" expressions or not.
