msbuild: Build a specific project file.
$ msbuild ${path-to-project_file}
try on your machine

The command "msbuild" is used to build software projects using the Microsoft Build Engine. It is typically used for building .NET applications, but can also be used for other types of projects.

In the given command, ${path-to-project_file} is a placeholder for the actual path to the project file that needs to be built. You need to replace it with the correct path in order to execute the command successfully. The project file refers to the file that contains the necessary information and configuration for building the project, such as source code files, references, build settings, and other project-specific details.

By running this command, the Microsoft Build Engine will be invoked to compile the project, resolve dependencies, and generate the necessary binaries or artifacts based on the instructions and settings provided in the project file.
