MSBuild Structured Log Viewer
Channel: Microsoft Visual Studio
Date: 18/07/2019

Visual Studio Toolbox is back from its summer vacation! In this episode, Robert is joined by Kirill Osenkov, the author of the MSBuild Structured Log Viewer. This tool records information about everything that happens in the build. But instead of just dumping everything into a huge text file it preserves the structure and relationships between elements, and lets you save and open the structured log in .xml format. This has significant advantages to help you understand and navigate large build logs.
