The MsBuild Template takes care of the compilation process after a project has been generated, and it generates a C# project file (.csproj) where this is required by the project type. It depends on the .NET 2.0 Framework to accomplish the compilation task. Projects generated by GenWise are a 100% compatible with the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 project system, so the generated C# project file can be opened directly with Visual Studio.
Since the MsBuild Template is a GenWise Template, you can add your own code to the compilation process (inside the User Codeblocks).
The MsBuild Template is required as a single instance template per project. It cannot be deleted from a project and it cannot be added to a project manually. Normally, C# projects require one item that can be built. A validation error results if this in not the case.
The MsBuild Template is automatically added to projects:
 | It is added to a BO-Layer (NHibernate Templates) project after the Selection of Entities. |
| It is added to ASP.NET projects on creation, and named WebBuild Template. |
