+.SYNOPSIS
+    Builds all sample projects in the samples/public folder.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    This script iterates through all solution files in samples/public and builds them.
+    It can be used both locally by developers and in CI pipelines.
+
+.PARAMETER Configuration
+    The build configuration to use (default: Release).
+
+.PARAMETER TreatWarningsAsErrors
+    Whether to treat warnings as errors (default: false).
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\eng\build-samples.ps1
+    Builds all samples in Release configuration.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    .\eng\build-samples.ps1 -Configuration Debug
+    Builds all samples in Debug configuration.
