Logger Class

Definition

This helper base class provides default functionality for loggers that handle events raised by the build engine. This class can only be instantiated in a derived form.

public ref class Logger abstract : Microsoft::Build::Framework::ILogger
public abstract class Logger : Microsoft.Build.Framework.ILogger
type Logger = class
    interface ILogger

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.");
            }
            string[] parameters = Parameters.Split(';');
            
            string logFile = parameters[0];

            {

            }

Remarks

This abstract class provides default implementations for the methods and properties of the ILogger interface.

This class can only be instantiated in a derived form.

Constructors

Logger()

Initializes a new instance of the Logger class.

Properties

Parameters

Gets or sets the user-specified parameters to the logger. Derived class can ignore if it doesn't take parameters.

Verbosity

Gets or sets the level of detail to show in the event log.

Methods

FormatErrorEvent(BuildErrorEventArgs)

Generates a message in the default format from a BuildErrorEventArgs object.

FormatWarningEvent(BuildWarningEventArgs)

Generates a message in the default format from a BuildWarningEventArgs object.

Initialize(IEventSource)

Must be implemented by derived class to subscribe to build events.

IsVerbosityAtLeast(LoggerVerbosity)

Determines whether the current verbosity setting is at least the value passed in.

Shutdown()

Derived class should override if it needs to release any resources.
