# How to use this image

## Start your application inside this image

The most straightforward way to use this image is to use it both as the build and runtime environment. In your `Dockerfile`, you can write something similar to the following:

```dockerfile
FROM %%IMAGE%%
COPY . /app
RUN xbuild /app/myproject.sln
```

This will copy your application source code into the image and use `xbuild` to build it.
