Public class MuxLogger Represents a multiplexing logger. The purpose of this logger is to register and unregister multiple loggers during the build. Supports the Visual Studio IDE scenario in which loggers are registered and unregistered for each project system’s build request. One physical build can have multiple logical builds, each with its own set of loggers.The MuxLoggerregisters itself with the build manager as a regular central /l style logger. It receives messages from the build manager and routes them to the correct logger, based on the logical build that the message came from.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.
