# Sandbox.Resources.ResourceCompileContext.Describing

```csharp
bool Describing { get; set; }
```

A content build is asking what this compile reads before anything is built: declare the compiled outputs it
reads with [Sandbox.Resources.ResourceCompileContext.AddCompiledReference](/api/Sandbox.Resources.ResourceCompileContext/AddCompiledReference), then return without doing the work. Anything written is discarded.

Declared in [Sandbox.Resources.ResourceCompileContext](/api/Sandbox.Resources.ResourceCompileContext).
Assembly: `Sandbox.Engine`.
