How Can I change the Directory and Name of Coded UI Test Result html file

Question

I'm Using Visual Studio 2013
Now I can find the Coded UI test result html file insde the following path
TestProjectFolder\TestResults\2015_01_22_05_59\In\anotherfolder\MyMachineName\UiTestActionLog.html
VS2013 enables editing the name structure of this folder only (2015_01_22_05_59). and it should contains a static name+DateTime (Using the Project TestSettings).
I need to (Programatically)
Collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name (Change the path of the test result file)
Put the testcase name on the result file name (for example : TC13505_ValidateScreenComponents_2015_01_22_05_59)
If possible,Programatically attach the html result file to the test case attachements
More Details:
I need to set a custom valus for (ResultsDirectory -
TestLogsDir -TestResultsDirectory
- TestName) on the runtime.
please if any onw know how to do the previous tasks
by code, please share your knowledge.

Hi AhmedElgazar,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
As you said  that you want to collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name by programmatically way to change the path of test result file in coded UI test.
As far as I know that when we run a coded UI test every time, it is default that there will create a new folder to save the new UITestActionLog.html.
So we could not change the path of test result file and collect all test result html files on one folder in VS IDE.
At present, there have no way to collect all test result html files on one folder and change the test result file path.
In addition, I know that we can change the TestResults folder using mstest.exe in command line.
