I think we should work on a
tool that would allow easier use of Log4NET within Visual Studio.NET. This
would not only encourage the use of Log4NET but also make it easier and faster
for us die-hard users. I was thinking of integrating it into VS.NET like a
component (like a Timer or errorProvider) this means that it would be much more
useful for webservices, ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Component development. The
following could be the features: 1. Can configure
Appenders, Loggers, Filters, and Layouts all graphically. 2. Automatically add the
code to the file as well as to the correct config file and
AssemblyInfo.cs files. 3. Can possibly reuse the
GUI to configure Log4Net outside of VS.NET for easy configuration on
the fly. On my website(http://www.nantz.org/log4NETAddin.zip)
I have posted some ideas and screenshots. If you all think it is a good idea
then we should start the infrastructure for this! By the way look for my
upcoming book Open Source .Net Development: Programming with NAnt, NDoc,
NUnit & More that features Log4Net and download a sample chapter at http://www.nantz.org/pubs.aspx. Brian Nantz |
