IDE Output Window (Need to catch compile errors)

Question

I've written a build tool that reads in a xml file that shows all projects and their dependencies. Does anyone know how to grab the output window so that during a compile I can get any compiler errors? example: System.Type t = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID(VisualStudio.Solution.7.1); object obj = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t true); soln = (EnvDTE.Solution)obj; I'm then doing a soln.solutionbuild(projectname true); if build fails I want to display why it failed. Thanks in advance everyone. Gibby

Thanks for info. Actually I found out that if I grab an instance of Visual Studio .Net 7.1 I'll have the Tasklist window available.
