Open generated HTML report in post-build event
In the post-build event of my unit test project I run OpenCover and ReportGenerator to get a code coverage report:
del "$(SolutionDir)TestResultsCoverage*.*"
"$(SolutionDir)packagesOpenCover.4.5.1923OpenCover.Console.exe"
-register:user
-target:"$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0
Common7IDEMSTest.exe"
-targetdir:"$(ProjectDir)bin$(ConfigurationName)"
-targetargs:"/testcontainer:"$(TargetPath)""
-output:"$(SolutionDir)TestResultsCoveragecoverage.xml"
-filter:"+[MyProject]* "
$(SolutionDir)packagesReportGenerator.1.9.1.0ReportGenerator.exe"
-reports:"$(SolutionDir)TestResultsCoveragecoverage.xml"
-targetdir:"$(SolutionDir)TestResultsCoverage"
call "$(SolutionDir)TestResultsCoverageindex.htm"
The final step is to open the generated HTML report. With the current call command it opens the HTML report in my default web browser. But I would like it if the report could get opened within Visual Studio itself.
If and how would I achieve this?

I have actually got it to work using PowerShell and the Navigate method in the VS core automation wrapper, EnvDTE.
I replaced the last call command with the following:
powershell
-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
-Command "& { $dte = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::
GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.11.0");
$dte.ItemOperations.Navigate(
"$(SolutionDir)TestResultsCoverageindex.htm"); }"
And that opens the report in a new browser tab inside the VS project.
