Initializes a new instance of the LoggerException class.
MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.

Examples
The following example shows how to write a basic logger that responds to build events.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security;
using Microsoft.Build.Framework;
using Microsoft.Build.Utilities;
namespace MyLoggers
{
// This logger will derive from the Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Logger class,
// which provides it with getters and setters for Verbosity and Parameters,
// and a default empty Shutdown() implementation.
public class BasicFileLogger : Logger
{
/// <summary>
/// Initialize is guaranteed to be called by MSBuild at the start of the build
/// before any events are raised.
/// </summary>
public override void Initialize(IEventSource eventSource)
{
// The name of the log file should be passed as the first item in the
// "parameters" specification in the /logger switch. It is required
// to pass a log file to this logger. Other loggers may have zero or more than
// one parameters.
