title: MSBuild Target BeforeBuild not Executing
body: <p>I seem to have a situation where code that I put into the BeforeBuild target is not successfully executing.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Target Name="BeforeBuild" &gt;
      &lt;Message Text="Before Build" /&gt;
  &lt;/Target&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can’t see the message output in the build log when the build runs.  Is there something wrong with the way I’ve formatted this, or does it have to be in a specific place in the script?  Am I even looking in the correct place for these messages?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: changing the importance to high seems to make no difference</p>
