Enterprise Library Logging Not Logging To Event Log?
Jun 3, 2010
I spent a day trying to make Ent Lib Logging work and log anything into database or event log. I have a web application and console application with the same Ent Lib config but only the console application is capable to log into the Event Log. I tried everything with permissions but I don't know what exactly I am doing — which services should have what. It does not work!
I read articles like this[URL] and I want to try to give the ASPNET account those permissions. I am using Windows 7 and I cannot find ASPNET user account. So where is it?
This is the config file which is automatically generated from Ent Lib utility and it works only on App.config, not on web.config:
I'm debugging some unexpected behavior and while tracing in to the .NET framework I see a bunch of stuff like this:
if (Logging.On) { Logging.PrintInfo(Logging.Web, this, SR.GetString(SR.net_log_n_certs_after_filtering, filteredCerts.Count)); ... }
But (as expected by default) the execution steps right over these. Is there some way to turn on the logging? Or is that just something that the framework developers can do while making special builds of the framework?
I think my subject line explains my problem in a nutshell.. I have a login page, I login like I should and everything works.I logout and when I type/paste the address to the page, in the address field, I still reach it just like if I was still logged in..The page I type in the address field is in a subfolder, only suppose to be able to be reached by logged in users and in this folder,ith it's own web.config-file:
I have two ASP.NET MVC web applications. One of them logs unhandled exceptions to the windows event log. The other doesn't.Is there a setting in IIS or the web.config to enable event log logging? I'm really looking for avenues for investigation.
Server Application Unavailable The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
However there is no error in the application event logs. So I am wondering if there's a specific setting in IIS or for the virtual site that enables logging?
Changing the customerror setting in the web.config seems to have no effect. I don't think it's even getting that far. IIS 6, Windows Server 2003
I am using asp.net membership and the login control. I would like to prevent a user from logging in with the same use rname if they are already logged in. I would like to place code in the LoggingIn or Authenticate event of the login control to check whether the user is login and prevent them from logging in again. Any ideas on the best way to do this?
something weird is happening! is a couple of days that my users are experincing a "logging out" isses, the error message is:
Event code: 4005
Event message: Forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied was invalid.
Here the data:
1. the website is running on 3 server behind a load balancer
2. yes, machine key is the same all across thw websites, because the configuration is shared and all servers are pointing to the same folder on a NAS, this is the key:
<machineKey decryption="AES" decryptionKey=" ... snipped for security reasons ... " validation="SHA1" validationKey=" ... snipped for security reasons ..." />
3. I created the keys using an console app as suggested here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en us/library/ff649308.aspx#paght000007_webfarmdeploymentconsiderations
I am using Enterprise library for my data access. when I am running the application, at the CreateDatabase() statement I am getting this exception:
Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder2.BuildFailedException was unhandled by user code Message="The current build operation (build key Build Key[Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Database, null]) failed: The value can not be null or an empty string. (Strategy type Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.ObjectBuilder.ConfiguredObjectStrategy,index 2)" Source="Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder2"
Now, I googled a bit and I found that I have to place
but I don't know where. Is it the right solution? Also, at the time of installing enterprise library I didn't see any connection string statement? So, I wonder how it will take the connection string from web.config file. In the connection string section of my web.config file I have:
I wanted to get any feedback (put out a feeler) for how the enterprise library plays with linq-to-sql generated classes. I was considering using the validation handler to provide validation logic/display to the UI level. I am considering the caching handler, validation, and authorization handlers primarily.
I have a question about validation. Basically how the MVC framework is setup it can use DataAnnotations. It calls TryValidate in a controller which does some other black magic, and poof, you have a ModelState with validation results. Now to extend this validation you can create a validator and then provide custom validation on both server and client side. Here is the problem... what if you dont want to hard code all of the validation in the classes? I would like to use what Microsoft has already provided in the Enterprise Library [URL]for validation. I will be using both DataAnnotations and configured rule sets. Of course I could just put the code in each action, but that is so 1999. As I see it the MVC framework falls short by not allowing us to use the config for such things. Why is the validation so specific for MVC? Why could it now have used the Enterprise Validation? I wrote my own abstract controller and put in Enterprise Library validation and it worked GREAT!!! So why am I here? Well, surly there must be a better way... do I really have to write my own controller abstract class to change the validation?
So if you think you know how to solve this problem, you must provide a solution that does this:
Uses DataAnnotations AND Configuration RulesCan validate the SAME in a console application (could really be any non-web app) and MVCI do see that MVC 3 adds a little more support for validation which was really needed. It supports IValidatableObject, which allows you to validate the whole Model... its nice, but now we have 3 ways to do that same thing... granted the former 2 (DataAnnotation on the class, and a Validator for the DataAnnotation) could not pass the error to the correct place in the view. Now if we could just support all of this validation in a place what any type of application could use it. In my use case I will run validation on the MVC app, perhaps some other apps, and on an ESB.
I'm trying to learn the Enterprise Library. I found this useful code sample to get data from a SQL database. But I tried to send data via a parameter. I'm also using the UPDATE, DELETE, and SAVE methods. Can you give me a similar sample? I'm using Enterprise Library 4.0.
Recently i have joined a new project that is to be build from scratch.(goal of the project is to reach the users across boundaries : windows, web & mobile)
I follow architecture having following layers:1.Presentation Layer 2. Logic Layer(BLL) 3. Business Objects 4. Data Access Layer.
But this time i wanted to use new technologies Microsoft have introduced like Entity Framework 4.0 , WCF services.
but i am in confusing state how to use Entity Framework. in the above layered diagram.If there any flaws in the above layered diagram do guide me.I have heard of Microsoft Enterprise Library(MEL) 5.0. What exactly it is?
Does MS have a sample enterprise application that demonstrates the use of different Enterprise library blocks (Logging, Dataaccess, Exception, Validation etc)? I am looking for something that uses best practices in using and integrating all these blocks in a single application.
Has any one used Microsoft's Enterprise Library, if so what parts of it did you use? I am using building a website (I guess the client app type is not important, it can be a Windows app as well) with all the architectural layer, and I am specifically interested in the exception handling, logging and caching blocks for now. Any one used these, what were the good and bads of your experience with, any alternatives that you rather decided to use? Performance is a thing that I am also interested in. I am looking for a decent exception handling framework which is how I came across the exception handling block. Anything other out there? Is it a wise idea to use the data access block with an MVC application seeing that everybody is the repository pattern with an ORM framework? I am still researching frameworks, so I would like to hear as many opinions.
The CachingCallHandler included in Enterprise Library 4.1 was removed for Enterprise Library 5.0+. The documentation refers to using the Enterprise Contrib Library to get this functionality, if needed.My questions:Where is this functionality in the Enterprise Contrib Library?Does this work with Enterprise Library 5.0?This is the only functionality I have a definite need for from Enterprise Library but may want to use the validation, as well. I don't see any reason to start with 4.1 when newer versions already exist. But, I'm slightly confused about where to find this functionality.Of note, I don't see this method listed on their page.. still searchingI think this is the namespace, and I don't see the file in the latest download.
In a system I am creating, the customer requires all changes to data to be logged to a database table - with only changes being logged (i.e. if they only change 1 value on a form full of 10 fields, it'll only audit that one change). So essentially I need to be able to compare the old values to the new values.
This is of course easy - I've done this before, but it was rather messy - I would manually check each field in the database and compare it to the new one to decide if it should be audited. Is there any easier way, of perhaps automatically getting the changed column name/values? Or do I have to do it my 'messy' way?
Pretty much all of the changes to be logged are done using LINQ to SQL - so perhaps there's a way to compare the database table to the modified one, before calling submit changes?
I'm writing an application in asp.net mvc.I have got presentation layer, controllers and viewModel layer, document layer ( document model [I use ravendb] and repositories) and a framework layer.Currently I'm wondering how to design logging. I have chosen Nlog + Ninject.Logging extensions.My question is what information should I write to log ? ( in debug / release )I know that all exceptions should be logged...
I've VS2008 and enterprise library 4.1 installed .I want to display few records in the categories table of my NorthWind in my presentation layer through data access layer with enterprise library. I've added references of the following dlls in my data access layer project( which is of type class library)
I just downloaded entLib 4.1. Part of the download process included a DOS bat file that ran for a while. Being completely new to the Enterprist Library I have no idea how to use the Enterprise Library. Online support mentions something about accessing the blocks through the References folder in the Solution Explorer - but I don't have one in my solution explorer. How do I get the References folder to appear so that I can start figuring out how to use the application blocks?
Now I am in a situation where i need to run this inlnie query using the same method to get the count of records and read in a variable. for example following query to find existing bill.
string bill_id = "1234"; string dofpayment = "11/03/2011"; mysql = "Select count(*) from payments where bill_id = " + bill_id + " and payment_date = " + dofpayment ;
Now how to incorporate the above lines using the enterprise library block.
