logview4net

I know these badges are mostly made to give a link back to the directory but since sourceforge had a security issue recently you might want to know that logview4net is considered clean by someone else but me.

… is what the release I made today was going to be. Well here it is, finally.

Please let me know how you use it and if you figure out a listener or other feature you are missing.

The changelog for release 11.02 is:
Fixed: [3048596] logview4net keeps redrawing view, even though it is Paused
Fixed: [2865511] F11 vill now hide/show the menu and the form border.
Fixed: An exception was sometimes thrown when closing a session window because the listener was not closed before the view.
Changed: The string pattern for an action is now a regular expression, not only an exact match.
Fixed: [3094649] tables list not retrieved when db name contains a period
Fixed: [2833781] HighlightMatch highlighting is offset by -1

Now that you’re all excited about it go get it here.

I am nearly done implementing RegEx instead of plain text matching.

I will create a new release when there is enough information on this site to stop redirecting people to jsisoft.com

I intend to make each part of the documentation a post here and use tags to keep some structure to it. That way it will be much easier to comment or contribute on individual parts of the documentation.

It will go past the SourceForge Tracker, but a suggestion in a comment here will get to me a bit faster.

Context menu

There is a context menu in each session window that has options tho quickly create actions based on selected text in the viewer.

This is where all new log events are showed. You can change font and colors. Each viewer is associated with a set of actions. ‘Buffer’ set how many characters that are stored in the viewer. Old events are purged to make place for new ones once this number is reached.
