ErrorwarningsLog.txt not generated ????

Question

 Hi All,

Can someone assist me as to when does the ErrorsWarningsLog.txt file get generated in TFS Build 2005 ?
I am currently using the custom logging provided by TFS wherein all the errors and mesages gets logged into BuildLog.txt file. Additionally my custom MSBuild tasks also logs error/messages in this BuildLog using the methods
BuildEngine.LogErrorEvent(eventArgs) and BuildEngine.LogMessageEvent(eventArgs). But all of them seem to be logging into BuildLog.txt. I dont seem to understand under what circumstances does the ErrorsWarningsLog.txt gets generated (coz I cant find any such file in the build location)

One more question:
Is it possible to have the custom logger ALONG WITH the default logger provided by TFS? If yes, how?

Regards,
SP

Sorry for the lack of response here.  The blog post referenced by Swaha should allow you to attach a custom logger in addition to the default logger used by Team Build.  As for your initial question on when ErrorsWarningsLog.txt gets generated - this file will typically only contain the compilation errors and warnings generated during the build, not other errors encountered during the course of the build (e.g. the errors you log from your custom MSBuild tasks).
