How to serialize validation results into a file?

[R_S]

Hi fans of EA,
I want to write the results of the model validation into a text file.
So I checked the automation interface but didn't find any proper methods for doing so.

Maybe someone can give me a hint regrading the following questions:
How do I start the model validation programatically?
How do I write the results of the model validation to a file? I looked for a broadcast message for the model validation output window, but did not find a suitable one.

[R_S]

Does anybody know how to write the output window into an output file?

to run the validation via automation interface
use the project interface.

Repository.GetProjectInterface()

Project.ValidatePackage(string PackageGUID)

via Project.PublishResult(...) i would try to get the result of every rule
and serialize it to your file

[R_S]

Well but how do i intercept calls to PublishResult?

Good Question.
Perhaps you can try to get the active output tab handle directly via c#
(dont even know if that is possible)
Maybe somehow you can try to extract the information stored in the output tab.

Another possibility will be to deploy your own validation addin.

After every check you can write your information how and where you need it.

Yeah, you can access the output tab by right clicking on it and even save the log to the file. But there seems to be no way doing it via c#...
