Tracing with style in your web applications

I was reviewing some articles on tracing in ASP.NET, one of the topics we are discussing as part of our Winter MSDN Events, and found this cool article from Dino Esposito. The techniques he demonstrates will improve the rendering of trace data in your applications and give you a greater insight into how HTTP responses are produced in ASP.NET.

Enjoy,
Jacob

For me, LOG4NET (http://logging.apache.org) is still superior compared to all other logging techniques/packages I'm aware of.

Uwe,

I must admit that I don't have experience with Log4Net, but I'll check it out. Have you tried the Logging Application Block from the Patterns and Practices team at Microsoft? It's a free building block of code that you can freely use in your applications to create robust, instrumented applications - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnpag/html/Logging.asp

Regards,
Jacob

Jacob, I think I looked at it before, yes. Seems to be similar. Log4Net seems to have more appenders (i.e. more "event sinks"), and they have a version (Log4Cxx) that I also can use from within C++.

Oh, and it works with Mono, too :-)

If you are going to check out log4net and use it in an ASP.NET application, read my log4net tutorial to save yourself some time!

log4net Tutorial: Using log4net in an ASP.NET Application
http://tom.gilki.org/programming/net/120604/

Here are 2 lines of code that may come in handy for your methods:

log4net.Config.DOMConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile) );
log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

Cheers!
