I am interesting in writing custom logger for MSBuild and use it with VS 2012. But I did not found how, after that, can I call this logger from WITHIN VS 2012. I did not find any place where I transfer parameters to MSBuild, or can I set custom logger in VS 2012 preferences.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!

You probably need to look into the Visual Studio automation interface[^].

This is an MSBuild extension pack. It does not explain how to run this from WITHIN VS 2012, which was my main question.

Then maybe you need to refine the keywords that I put into Google.

I am sorry, I do not think I understand what you mean.

Your question is too general for a quick answers forum. You need to go and do some research into Visual Studio and its interfaces and how you can get it to add things into msbuild. The VS project engine is the best place to start.

What is general about this question?? I asked for a very specific task. Sending me to do my research is not exactly the help I seek here. Trust me I tried to find it on my own and if I had I would not come here.
The answer can be very quick - Go to Menu A, select Menu B - In case the person answering know the answer, of course.

Thanks for you time.

Well as you can see no specific answers have been posted here so maybe no one knows, and it is a matter of research.
