A simple logger for .NET

Youzee .NET Logger

Simple logger for .NET framework.

Configuration

To configure the logger, you should edit the App.config file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="logger" type="Youzee.Util.Logger.LoggerSection, Youzee.Util.Logger"/>
  </configSections>
  <logger>
    <log level="*"/>
  </logger>
</configuration>

If you want to log only a specific level, you can do it setting the "level" attribute to "debug", "error" or "info".

<log level="debug"/>

You can also disable the logging with

<log level="debug" disabled="true"/>

If you want to output the log to a file, you should define a "filePath" attribute

<log level="debug" filePath="C:/logs.txt"/>

Configuration for Microsoft Unity dependency injection container

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="logger" type="Youzee.Util.Logger.LoggerSection, Youzee.Util.Logger"/>
    <section name="unity" type="Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration.UnityConfigurationSection, Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration"/>
  </configSections>

  <unity xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2010/unity">
    <namespace name="Youzee.Util.Logger" />
    <assembly name="Youzee.Util.Logger" />

    <container name="container">
      <register type="LogWriter" mapTo="EventLogWriter"/>
      <register type="LoggerConfiguration" mapTo="FileLoggerConfiguration"/>
      <register type="Logger">
        <constructor>
          <param name="logWriter" type="LogWriter"/>
          <param name="loggerConfiguration" type="LoggerConfiguration" />
        </constructor>
      </register>
    </container>
  </unity>

  <logger>
    <log level="*" filePath="C:/test.txt"/>
  </logger>
</configuration>

In this case, you can choose between the EventLogWriter or FileLogWriter. The EventLogWriter will write into the Windows Event System and the FileLogWriter will do it over a configured file (last one require a filePath attribute into the log tag).

Usage

using Youzee.Util.Logger;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        LogWriter logWriter = new EventLogWriter();//Log the events through the Windows Event System
        //LogWriter logWriter = new FileLogWriter();//Log to a file
        LoggerConfiguration loggerConfiguration = new FileLoggerConfiguration();
        Logger logger = new Logger(logWriter, loggerConfiguration);

        logger.Error("This is an error!");
        logger.Debug("This is a debug message!");
        logger.Info("This is an info message!");
    }
}

Using Microsoft Unity dependency injection container

using Youzee.Util.Logger;
using Microsoft.Practices.Unity;
using Microsoft.Practices.Unity.Configuration;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();
        container.LoadConfiguration("container");
        Logger logger = container.Resolve<Logger>();

        logger.Error("This is an error!");
        logger.Debug("This is a debug message!");
        logger.Info("This is an info message!");
    }
}
