| SubsystemVersion | .NET | Specifies the minimum version of the subsystem that the generated executable file can use. This property is equivalent to the `/subsystemversion` compiler switch. For information about the default value of this property, see [/subsystemversion (Visual Basic)](/dotnet/visual-basic/reference/command-line-compiler/subsystemversion) or [/subsystemversion (C# compiler options)](/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/compiler-options/subsystemversion-compiler-option). |
| TargetCompactFramework | .NET | The version of the .NET Compact Framework that is required to run the application that you're building. Specifying this lets you reference certain framework assemblies that you may not be able to reference otherwise. |
| TargetFrameworkVersion | .NET | The version of the .NET Framework that is required to run the application that you're building. Specifying this lets you reference certain framework assemblies that you may not be able to reference otherwise. |
| TreatWarningsAsErrors | .NET | A boolean parameter that, if `true`, causes all warnings to be treated as errors. This parameter is equivalent to the `/nowarn` compiler switch. |
| TreatWarningsAsErrors | .NET | A boolean parameter that, if `true`, causes all warnings to be treated as errors. |
| UseCommonOutputDirectory | .NET | A boolean property that you can set to `true` when you want all build outputs in a solution to use the same output directory. If `true`, referenced projects' output isn't copied to projects that use those dependencies, as is normally the case when this setting is `false`. Setting this parameter to `true` doesn't change the actual output directory of any projects; you still need to set the output directory to the desired common output directory for each project that requires it.|
| UseHostCompilerIfAvailable | .NET | A boolean parameter that, if `true`, causes the build task to use the in-process compiler object, if it's available. This parameter is used only by Visual Studio. |
| Utf8Output | .NET | A boolean parameter that, if `true`, logs compiler output by using UTF-8 encoding. This parameter is equivalent to the `/utf8Output` compiler switch. |
