This command is using the "msbuild" tool to build a project file. Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "msbuild": This is the command-line tool used for building .NET projects and solutions. It stands for "Microsoft Build Engine".
  • "${path-to-project_file}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the project file you want to build. You should replace it with the correct path, including the file name and extension.
  • "/detailedsummary": This is a command-line switch that instructs MSBuild to provide a detailed summary of the build process. It will display more information about the build actions, status, and timing.

Using this command will trigger the MSBuild tool to build the project file specified by the provided path and display a detailed summary of the build process.
