Re: Logging (log4net et al)

Can you give a basic example of doing this? I can see the benefit, but am
having a hard time wrapping my head around when/where you do this and how
it would look in the output.

Fair enough, but I would say that once you have a system generating
gigabytes of logfiles a day, and have used them to "debug" everything from
real bugs to stupid user errors, you're not likely to want to code a system
w/out logging.

Plus, I find the log entries to be a helpful documentation tool themselves
and the debug() log entries often explain what you're doing so you can
follow the bouncing ball in the log files.

I have _not_ done an extensive comparison/analysis, but for us the answer
is
yes, I prefer log4net. I think it's a simple but powerful, complete and
capable framework. I love the ability to turn on and off logging by class
(assuming you name your loggers in line w/your classes), the interface is
trivial to use and the output logging options are plentiful, though we only
use rollingFile and syslog in production (and Console in some dev
utilities)
. It's also a logging framework the Java-heads are familiar with if you
need
to integrate with them. And at this point we've got so much code that uses
log4net that I can't imagine changing it :-)

Just for my edification, would you favor log4net over the Framework tracing
provided in System.Diagnostics, and what are some reasons for the choice.

Thanks

I like nice simple code that does simple stuff, well done. (That's a
compliment!) :-)

I would however suggest throwing in log4net code, especially where you've
got the catches. I think of log4net as the joblog, and I can't tell you how
many times it's been handy to have a log of what the code was doing at
runtime.

For those that didn't know, I have been working on a .NET interface for
some
of the things that could make life easier when working with IBM i data. The
project is at: https://github.com/MikeWills/IBM-i-.NET-Interface

I am fixing little things as I find issues, but overall this has been
working quite well. Feel free to use it and report issues/submit
fixes/features.
