How to get cmd line build command for VS solution?

Question

This is probably easy but I am getting stuck: when I build a solution in Visual Studio - how do extract the exact cmd line for the current build command in order to be able

Answer 1

If you want to see the exact command line as provided by VS (rather than work it out) then you could try replacing the MSBuild.exe with your own console app that prints out all the parameters to a file.

You could also write out all the environment variables supplied to check which ones VS provides in the background.
