BuildConsole is a Windows application which can run msbuild projects and show the output.

Look at the introductory blog post by Gaston Milano for the details about its usage.

Features

• Open Build Files and Solution Files
• Show and Save Build Reports
• Support for cancellation
• Verbosity Configuration
• Build Console solve another small problem that I always have, when building C++ I want a detailed verbosity but for C# projects I need a normal verbosity. BuildConsole assume you want this and if you choose normal when it is building a C++ project it assume detailed. I could be annoying for somebody but I need to know what C++ source is msbuild building and with normal verbosity I can’t see this.
• Configuration

If you are going to use BuildConsole always with the same build file you can use the .config file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="BuildFile" value="mybuild.msbuild"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>
