ProjectItem

NikhilSourav: I added a new project item ID for new App Builder build specification ".NET Core Assembly"

A '''Project Item''' is an individual item in a [[LabVIEW Project]], [[LabVIEW Project Library]], [[LabVIEW Class]], or [[XControl]]. A Project Item can be one of many types with an associated type GUID. The [[ProjectItem class]], [[ProjectItem class/Type String property|Type String Property]] can be used to get the ''Type String''. The [[ProjectItem class]], [[ProjectItem class/Type GUID property|Type GUID Property]] can be used to get the ''Type GUID''. In cases where no Type String exists the [[ProjectItem class/Type String property|Type String Property]] returns the Type GUID.

The ''Type String'' is used in the [[ProjectItem class]], [[ProjectItem class/Get All Descendents method|Get All Descendents method]] to get a filtered list of the Descendents by the inputted type. A list of valid ''Type Strings'' with associated ''Type GUIDs'' are listed below. (Add to this list as more are discovered.)
