| AsyncExec Class | MSBuild Extension Pack Help 4.0.12.0 |
Asynchronously runs a specified program or command with no arguments. This is similar to
the Exec Task: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x8zx72cd.aspx.
This task is useful when you need to run a fire-and-forget command-line task during the build process.
Note that that is a fire and forget call. No errors are handled.
