Is it possible to see items returned by evaluation?

[drewnoakes]

Right now the "Evaluation" node only shows evaluated properties. It would be useful to see the set of items obtained via evaluation.

(I'm not 100% sure that this makes sense though. In VS we evaluate the project and get items from it, and my assumption is that these items come from the evaluation directly without calling any targets.)

Properties and Items should be displayed under a Project's actual build, not evaluation. Sometimes it's not displayed, and it's a bug that we need to figure out:

dotnet/msbuild#3616
dotnet/msbuild#4926
dotnet/msbuild#5316

dotnet/msbuild#4926 has now been fixed, so what's left is move the logging of properties and items from ProjectStarted to ProjectEvaluationFinished

dotnet/msbuild#6287 should fix this.

This is fixed and will hopefully ship in 16.10.
