Building and debugging

Install Visual Studio SDK (download SDK for VS2013)
Open Solution → Project Properties → Debug:
- In "Start Action" choose "Start external program" and specify a path to the devenv.exe (eg for VS2013: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe).
- In "Start Options" specify the following command line arguments: /rootsuffix Exp /log.
  - /rootsuffix Exp to start experimental instance of Visual Studio.
  - /log to enable BuildVision logging into ActivityLog.xml.

Most of the errors in BuildVision, and also some warnings and messages are logged.

For DEBUG mode:
- See ActivityLog.xml
- See %appdata%\BuildVision\log\*.svclog
For RELEASE mode:
- Start Visual Studio with /log switch. See ActivityLog.xml

If Visual Studio has been crashed, you can also see the Windows Event Log (Win+R, eventvwr /c:Application).
