I'm using MS Enterprise Logging Application Block in an ASP.NET website.
For production launch, I will set up a log listener in one of these locations:
Sql Server database
Windows event log
Text files
Which has the least impact on performance?
NB - I can't switch to Log4Net or ELMAH at this point, so don't suggest that in your response.
use logging library.which one is better and why log4net vs enterprice library logging (application block)
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to configure the logging settings to log all events in a database and event viewer but email only errors and warnings. Database and Event Viewer part works fine except that I'm not getting any email for errors.
Note: There isn't any problem with smtp settings because I get event's emails if I add the listener to "General" and "All events" in category sources.
Here is my config: (I'm using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging 3.1.0.0)
<loggingConfiguration name="Logging Application Block" tracingEnabled="true" defaultCategory="General" logWarningsWhenNoCategoriesMatch="false">
<listeners>
<add databaseInstanceName="LOGGING_DB" writeLogStoredProcName="WriteLog"
[Code]....
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?
This is a complete new one for me, but one of my tasks on our project (MVC 2, VS 2010, Net 4.0) is as follows:
Tracing, Logging and Performance Counters strategies must be in place on all controllers, action filters, etc. for system monitoring.
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 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:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

how can I enable database logging in my ASP.net application?
I am using VS2010 (ASP.net MVC2 Project) and would like to see logging that highlights database activity between the application and the database, including database connection establishment (as I do have a connection related error somewhere).
I'm using SqlServer Express 2008.
needs to log informations about user actions (inserts, updates, deletes, etc) and exceptions and i want to store de log on Oracle10, so i'am searching some log framework to use.I read a little bit about:1 -Log4Net
2 - Logging Application Block3 - ElmahWhats your opinion about these log tools?Whats a good framework (or way to implement) log on my application?*After a discussion with the project manager, Logging Application Block will be our choice, but, lets comment about this =)
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.

View 1 RepliesI am looking at how best to prevent a single user account logging on multiple times in a webforms application. I know that MembershipUser.IsOnline exists, but I've read a few forum and blog entries suggesting that this can be unreliable, particularly in scenarios where a user closes a browser (without logging out) and attempts to logon with a different machine or browser.I looked at implementing a last past the post type system; when a user logs on older users are simply kicked off. It seems that FormsAuthentication.Signout() only works for the current user.
View 2 RepliesIn 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?
Has anyone signed up to webspark ? I thought Id check it out, but whenever I try to log onto the site I get this error

i am loading a usercontrols dymaically, i need to create a event listener so any controls that i load will pass back a int id to my aspx page. what is the best way to create a dynamic listener?

Controls.Add(FeaturedProductUserControl);
PlaceHolderLeftMenu.Controls.Add(FeaturedProductUserControl);
I was adding login and logout functionality to my ASP.NET website. While I am able to make the user log in by checking the username and password but on some pages should be available only if he is logged in. I am doing this by storing the user's value in a session
Secondly, I am using a Link button which changes to Logged in as example. So, how does the user log out?
I've been working on my personal website as of late, and even thought it's not a big problem because I'm the only one that sees it, it's annoying nonetheless.
Whenever I go to my login page, it all works fine. If I enter a bad username/password, it will just print a simple text message error(intended). But, if I login correctly, then instead of redirecting to the root of my website as I intend, it will instead create a new tab in firefox and from there it will be in / (which is correct). The problem is why does it create a new tab? I didn't even think forms were capable of such a thing:
My full login page is at [URL] The gist of it is:
<form method="post" target="/login">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /> <br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" /> <br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" />
</form>
And my server side code is also very simple:
if(RouteID=="login"){
if(AuthenticationModule.Login(Form["username"],Form["password"],false)){
//logged in correctly
Response.Redirect("/"); //just go to the root of my site
}else{
Write("You fail at life");
}
}

**Question** : How to get generated SQL from this query, or how to convert its type to ObjectQuery to use routesQuery.ToTraceString(). Is it possible?**Reason** : I want to log all SQL queries to DB, though I don't want to create new object for joined contexts (tables)**Important** : I can't use ObjectQuery initially because after all I use
ListView.DataSource = routesQuery;
ListView.DataBind()
And it can cause an error of using to different contexts (DB tables) for one datasource.So what should I do get generated SQL query?

I wan't to connect to remote web page (that has login form) with HttpWebRequest. I am using this tutorial: http://www.byteblocks.com/page/How-to-submit-requests-to-web-sites-programatically-using-HttpWebRequest.aspx
,but I don't know where RequestAttributes class belongs to?!? Is there any better way to do this? The remote page is in ASP.NET, it's using Form authentication and when someone makes a request to default.aspx it redirects it to login page. I want to parse default.aspx page, but before I am able to do that, I need to pass credentials to login form via POST method in HttpWebRequest. Here is another example using POST method to pass parameters: http://www.worldofasp.net/tut/WebRequest/Working_with_HttpWebRequest_and_HttpWebResponse_in_ASPNET_114.aspx
but I don't understand why this does not work in ASP.NET remote page.
I've just starting looking at a site in place at work. They're using Elmah to log errors.It seems to be logging fine, but in the web interface, when I tell Elmah to show me 100 errors per page, it only shows the most recent 15.Then when I click on "Download Log" I only get shown 15 errors in the CSV.Anyone know how I can configure it to keep all the errors?Or can someone point me to some docs on how to do this?
