Log4NET Visaul Studio Integration

[Brian Nantz <br...@securityint.com>]

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.
