Question

I have been trying to use the class located here . But I have not been able to get this to work. I obviously do not understand something correctly, But I am curious how to get that example Logger class to work.
My research has sent me towards using MSBuild but the use of MSBuild correctly is still baffeling me. Any pointers would be helpful. I have built the logger class into a .dll,and referenced it in the project as well, but that is where my research seemed to run dry with helpful information.

My goal currently is just to get the above noted logger class working so I can use my own logger class.

Answer 1

That class is specifically for logging MSBuild events. If you want a generic logger that has nothing to do with MSBuild look at some of these alternatives:

• MS Enterprise Library – Logging Application Block
• Log4Net
• Elmah (designed for logging ASP.NET errors, but can be used to log other events)
• NLog
