Destination.net is proud to announce the immediate availability of the beta version of the LogWorks Logging Framework. You are invited to download a copy of the beta version from http://www.destinationdotnet.co.za/Download/ and give us feedback. Overview ======== LogWorks Framework ------------------ The LogWorks Logging Framework is an advanced tracing and logging solution for the Microsoft.NET Framework. It helps developers track down application problems in environments when it is particularly difficult to debug, such as in production environments. It also does not interrupt normal program flow in the way that setting a breakpoint in an application or displaying a message box does. The LogWorks architecture gives developers fine grained control over exactly what information is logged and to what destinations the log information is sent. LogWorks achieves this by using channels and filters. Channels are used to set the output destination(s) for log messages. Messages can be logged to a text file, XML file, event log, email address or the LogWorks Log Viewer. Filters are used to control exactly what level of information is logged. Filters can be added and removed without having to recompile the application and can be applied at an application or channel level. The extensible architecture of LogWorks also allows you to write your own custom channels and filters. LogWorks logs detailed information for each message. This include the message, level of severity, category, computer name, process id, process name, thread id, timestamp and a stack trace. Any serializable object can also be sent with each message as an attachment. LogWorks Log Viewer ------------------- The Log Viewer gives an advanced view of logged messages and their attachments. The Log Viewer consists of four panes. The Message Log pane allows you to view a list of all messages. The Call Stack pane allows you to view the call stack for a particular message. The Attachment Inspector pane allows you to view the properties of an message attachment. The Attachment Viewer pane allows a user friendly view of a message attachment. The Log Viewer comes with a number of built-in attachment viewers, but other attachment viewers can be written and plugged into the Log Viewer.
