BuildEventArgs Class

Provides data for the AnyEventRaised 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

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. 
            if (null == Parameters)
            {
                throw new LoggerException("Log file was not set.");
            }
