Running MSBUILD through code and getting asynchronous progress

Question

I am wanting to run MSBUILD through code, and get asynchronous status of the build as it progresses (similar to TeamCity or any other build runner does).

I am using the following code:

var projectFileName = @"...\MyApplication\MyApplication.sln"; ProjectCollection pc = new ProjectCollection(); var GlobalProperty = new Dictionary<string, string>(); GlobalProperty.Add("Configuration", "Debug"); GlobalProperty.Add("Platform", "x86"); var buildRequest = new BuildRequestData(projectFileName, GlobalProperty, null, new string[] { "Build" }, null); var buildResult = BuildManager.DefaultBuildManager.Build(new BuildParameters(pc), buildRequest);

Is there a way to get the current executing MSBUILD task through code?

you have to call build asyncronously and to test iscomplete in a loop where you can make your progress tracking:.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var projectFileName = @"...\MyApplication\MyApplication.sln"; ProjectCollection pc = new ProjectCollection(); var GlobalProperty = new Dictionary<string, string>(); GlobalProperty.Add("Configuration", "Debug"); GlobalProperty.Add("Platform", "x86"); BuildManager.DefaultBuildManager.BeginBuild(new BuildParameters(pc)); BuildRequestData request = new BuildRequestData(projectFileName, GlobalProperty, null, new string[] { "Build" }, null); BuildSubmission submission = BuildManager.DefaultBuildManager.PendBuildRequest(request); submission.ExecuteAsync(null, null); int cpt = 0; while (!submission.IsCompleted) { cpt++; textBox1.Text = cpt.ToString(); } BuildManager.DefaultBuildManager.EndBuild(); // If the build failed, return an error string. if (submission.BuildResult.OverallResult == BuildResultCode.Failure) { //do some error task } }

I was actually considering setting up a MSBUILD log provider and watching it for build complete messages?
