Logging

[gep13]

Hello there,

What tools does everyone uses for logging (DEBUG, INFO, ERROR) on their Windows Mobile Applications?

Do you use any?

Thanks

Personally, I use a flag to say whether I am logging, and just write to a flat file

Hey Pete,

Is that due to the overhead of using a third party control?

On the desktop, I have used log4net, and I see that they have a Compact Framework version, and I was wondering if that was any good.

Thanks

Hi,
just used it as it is so easy

Just looked at log4net, and it looks useful, although none of the sample links work.

Hey,

I have used it a lot on the desktop and for web apps, and it is very useful, and very good at what it does, so think I will give it a try on my mobile application as well and see how I get on.

As for the sample links, not sure why they wouldn't be working

Hello,

After stating how good log4net was, I went and tried to get it to work in my Mobile Application, and after about a day (on and off0 of trying to get it to work, I eventually gave up. Don't know what I am doing wrong, but just can't get it to work!!!

Instread, I have found NLog and this does work in my Application, and so far, it works really well, so this is the one that I am going to go with.

Thanks

Gary
