Today I learned that BuildBot can log build warning counts. So I immediately searched that functionality in FinalBuilder. I found it mentioned in the changelog for version **6.3.0.1712** but not in the online help or the forum.&nbsp;Also the auto completion feature in the script editor didn't come up with it.

So, how exactly are the properties called, and where would I&nbsp;generally search for information like this?

Hi Richard,   
  
 The Build [VS.NET](http://VS.NET) Solution action has two properties, CompilerWarningCount and CompilerErrorCount, that can be used to get the number of warnings and errors of a project.   
  
 Example (AfterAction):   
 Action.SendLogMessage("Errors: " + Action.CompilerErrorCount, stInformation);   
 Action.SendLogMessage("Warnings: " + Action.CompilerWarningCount, stInformation);   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.

Hi Paul,   
  
 thanks for the info.   
 That gives me something like this:   
  
 [code]…1\>Build log was saved at “file://c:\PointLine\3d\_OwCh\App\SHBaseObjects\Release\BuildLog.htm"1\>SHBaseObjects - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s)========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========Errors1: 0Warnings1: 0Errors2: 0Warnings2: 0…1\>Build log was saved at “file://c:\PointLine\3d\_OwCh\App\OGL\Release\BuildLog.htm"1\>OGL - 0 error(s), 76 warning(s)========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========Errors1: 0Warnings1: 0Errors2: 0Warnings2: 0 [/code]   
  
 In fact it always reports 0.   
  
 Are there special restrictions as to when the counters work?   
 The font coloring in the log window picks the warnings and errors up correctly.
