BuildErrorEventArgs Class

Provides data for the ErrorRaised event.

MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.

Remarks

WARNING: marking a type [Serializable] without implementing ISerializable imposes a serialization contract -- it is a promise to never change the type's fields i.e. the type is immutable; adding new fields in the next version of the type without following certain special FX guidelines, can break both forward and backward compatibility

Examples

The following example shows how to write a basic logger that responds to build events.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security;
using Microsoft.Build.Framework;
using Microsoft.Build.Utilities;

namespace MyLoggers

    // This logger will derive from the Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Logger class, 
    // which provides it with getters and setters for Verbosity and Parameters, 
    // and a default empty Shutdown() implementation. 
    public class BasicFileLogger : Logger
    {
        /// <summary> 
        /// Initialize is guaranteed to be called by MSBuild at the start of the build 
        /// before any events are raised. 
        /// </summary> 
        public override void Initialize(IEventSource eventSource)
        {
            // The name of the log file should be passed as the first item in the 
            // "parameters" specification in the /logger switch.  It is required
            // to pass a log file to this logger. Other loggers may have zero or more than  
            // one parameters.
