Can I get MSBuild output from CCNet api?

Question

I am building an asp.net shell on top of CCNet 1.5, where I send commands like force build to CCNet through the api. The ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Remote namespace has methods to get information from CCNet on the build, like status, elapsed time, etc.

I would like to programmatically get the MSBuild task output from the CCNet api, but I haven't seen any methods for this. Is it at all possible? Or do I need to scan output files on disk or something? Any suggestions?

Don't know if you can get build log number, but if then you could retrieve the XML Log file from the Dashboard?

The solution was to implement a custom IMergeTask and save the build log to database. In the end, it isn't possible to get the build log through the api.
