MSBuild TFS VBP

[HQUSR]

We are using VBP to build Visual Basic 6 projects and .Net 2003 solutions. Also, we are using TFS 2008 to manage the action of starting the build. Unfortunattely we can't find a way to log the steps (into TFS build repository) from VBP. Since all the steps are controled by VBP, I could create my own msbuild custom build task and write some entries to the TFS Build Log (ie: build started at, build ended at) but we would love to be able to write each VBP steps into the tfs build log. Any help or suggestions would be apreciated.

thanks

We'll add to our list to investigate.

For now, I believe you could implement a custom TFS task that invokes VBP via its object model and responds to VBP build events by notifying TFS.
