Microsoft Enterprise Library: Part-III



Continuing the exploration of the Enterprise library application blocks, this post will cover the Logging Application Block

Logging Application Block

Logging Application Block can be used to write information to a variety of locations:

1. The event log

2. An e-mail message

3. A database

4. A message queue

5. A text file

6. A Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) event

7. Custom locations using application block extension points



This link provides the design details of logging application block.

To know about what the logging application block does, refer this link

When to use Logging Block: refer to this link
Would it not be nice if there are pre-defined steps showing how to use this block in all the above 7 mentioned scenarios. If you answered YES, here are the steps.



Feel free to play around with the above mentioned scenarios, before I come up with sample app for these.

Till Next we connect

Happy Learning.

This practice results in difficulties for server administrators to identify an individual application that is experiencing problems. ASP.NET 4 introduces new resource-monitoring functionality introduced by the CLR. To enable this functionality, following XML configuration snippet is added to the aspnet.config configuration file.(This file is located in the directory where the .NET Framework is installed ) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8...

WCF..Why Communication Foundation?

WCF (Basics..for building effective Services) WCF:  Windows Communication Foundation It includes a collection of of .NET distributed technologies that have existed for long , but never got grouped under one name. WCF can be considered as collection of the following technologies. Web Services(ASMX) NET Enterprise Services MSMQ .NET Remoting Code written in WCF can interact across components, applications and systems. WCF is in accordance with SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). Following Sections provide the details of these ABCs. Addresses In WCF, every service has a unique address. The address provides two important elements A)     Location of the service B)      Transport protocol or transport schema used to communicate with the service.  The location indicates the name of the target machine, site, or network; a communication port, pipe, or queue; and an optional specific path or URI. WCF supports th...

WCF-REST Services-Part-II

HOW REST is implemented in WCF Part-I of the series explored the REST conceptually and this post will explore how REST is implemented in WCF. For REST implementation in WCF, 2 new attributes namely WebGetAttribute and WebInvokeAttribute are introduced in WCF along with a URI template mechanism that enables you to declare the URI and verb to which each method is going to respond. The infrastructure comes in the form of a binding ( WebHttpBinding ) and a behavior ( WebHttpBehavior ) that provide the correct networking stack for using REST. Also, there is some hosting infrastructure help from a custom Service¬Host ( WebServiceHost ) and a ServiceHostFactory ( WebServiceHostFactory ). How WCF Routes messages WCF routes network messages to methods on instances of the classes defined as implementations of the service. Default behavior ( Dispatching ) for WCF is to do this routing based on the concept of action. For this dispatching to work, an action needs to be present in ev...
