Log parser is a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows® operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory®. You tell Log Parser what information you need and how you want it processed. The results of your query can be custom-formatted in text based output, or they can be persisted to more specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or a chart. Most software is designed to accomplish a limited number of specific tasks. Log Parser is different... the number of ways it can be used is limited only by the needs and imagination of the user. Using log4net. Using log4net by Nauman Leghari 06/16/2003 Introduction Logging is an essential tool in every developer's arsenal.

Using log4net

It helps the developer to identify problems faster by showing the state of an application at any given point. It is important after deployment, when all that the poor system admins have are the logs that are generated by your application. About log4net log4net, as I said earlier, is an open source project and is the port of the famous log4j project for Java.

Error logging and patterns. Back in Overload 32 Francis suggested that his lack of experience with larger systems made him ill-equipped to review design patterns.

Error logging and patterns

The implication, of cause, is that design patterns are for large systems. He then went on to throw down the gauntlet of a challenge to anyone, to explain some patterns. I didn't set out to pick up the gauntlet - in my head this article was sketched - but hopefully I can show Francis where patterns are applicable on a small scale. Tail for Win32 - Home Page. Tracing with Log4Net and the Context Singleton Design Pattern. Download source files - 261 Kb Abstract: This article describes techniques than enable ASP.Net trace style performance information to be outputted to any appender using log4net.

Tracing with Log4Net and the Context Singleton Design Pattern

In building this utility class, we also delve into a design pattern that enables developer’s to create a single instance of a class for a single ASP.Net request, the Context Singleton pattern. Log4Net is a flexible, powerful open source logging library that many .Net developers swear by. On my last project, I had the opportunity to work with it and its many flexible “appenders.” Logger Pattern, How to Log Messages from the Inside of a Class. Download source files - 1.43 KB Introduction This is my first CodeProject article, so, do not expect too much of it!

Logger Pattern, How to Log Messages from the Inside of a Class

Also, English is not my first language, so, excuse me if I have made any mistakes. Error logging and patterns. LogViewer for Log4Net. C# - How to group logging messages in log4net by namespace. Log4net Manual: Configuration. Configuration Inserting log requests into the application code requires a fair amount of planning and effort.

log4net Manual: Configuration

Observation shows that approximately 4 percent of code is dedicated to logging. Consequently, even moderately sized applications will have thousands of logging statements embedded within their code. Given their number, it becomes imperative to manage these log statements without the need to modify them manually. The log4net environment is fully configurable programmatically. Let us give a taste of how this is done with the help of an imaginary application MyApp that uses log4net. using Com.Foo; // Import log4net classes. using log4net; using log4net.Config; public class MyApp { // Define a static logger variable so that it references the // Logger instance named "MyApp". private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MyApp)); static void Main(string[] args) { // Set up a simple configuration that logs on the console.

MyApp uses the following Bar class: appSettings. Making log4net run on .NET 4.0. I was playing around with .NET 4.0 and wanted to include logging.

Making log4net run on .NET 4.0

So I (v1.2.10) and added the source project to my solution. The next thing to do was to configure log4net and I would be able to log to one or several 'appenders'. At least, that was what I thought! How to configure and use log4net is not the scope of this article, but you can find all what you need on the . A summary of the solution can be found at the bottom of this article. When building I got some errors & warnings. Could not resolve assembly "System.Web". I went googling about the different target frameworks and I found a page explaining the this: Basicly there are some parts "missing" by default if the target is ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile". OK, fair enough, I changed the target framework to ".NET Framework 4" instead of ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile" on the log4net project.

Finally, I can build my solution! Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. The inner exception was more detailed:
