Is there a tool that displays the build depenency graph and target sequence from an MS Build project file?












0















Is there a tool that can, given an MS Build project file, build a visual that shows which target will be executed when and from which imported file?



If given a solution file, it builds a visual of the sequence in which the projects will be built?

          Yes, you can create a binary log using the -bl argument to msbuild:



          msbuild -bl the.sln


          Wich will create an msbuild.binlog file which you can open using the MSBuild Structured LogViewer which will display the dependency graph of the targets.
