- name 
 Type: System.String- The name of the build step to be added. 
- message 
 Type: System.String- The message of the build step to be added. 
- time 
 Type: System.DateTime- The start and finish time of the build step to be added. 
- status 
 Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.BuildStepStatus- The status of the build step to be added. 
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.IBuildStep
The added build step instance.
Remarks
Note that build steps are no longer used after Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management 2008 Team Foundation Server and have been replaced with various new information node types, including IBuildMessage, IBuildError, IBuildWarning, and IActivityTracking. Therefore, when you add information nodes to builds which will be primarily viewed from newer clients (for example, Team Foundation Server 2010), these new types are better than IBuildSteps.
