How to get started with ReflectInsight?

Question

I want to use Logging in a project which currently does not have any logging implementation. I was planning to use NLog but stumbled upon an answer here that said ReflectInsight is an even more powerful logging solution so I would like to give it a try. From what I have read so far I can conclude that I can use ReflectInsight native API or use its extensions with other Logging solutions such as Log4Net or NLog.

I want to use its native API but can't find a Getting started tutorial. Can anyone please tell me how can I implement ReflectInsight Api.

Kindly give me a very simple example which shows how can I save data to DB or some other XML or log file and then how can I view that logging info using its viewer?

A simple two lined method that throws an exception and then logs it will be much appreciated.

Hi @Afraz Ali, as promised here's the link to our samples. Sorry for the delay. http://reflectsoftware.com/Public/Support/Samples.aspx Disclosure: I am one of the developers for the ReflectInsight .NET logging framework project — , Nov 23 '13 at 00:48

ReflectSoftware has a UserVoice site and in it are a number of knowledge base articles which can help you get started. As codematrix mentioned, we are working to get additional documentation out. Feel free to post suggestions or submit support requests through our UserVoice site.

All docs have been moved from CodePlex to the following url: https://reflectsoftware.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RI5/ReflectInsight+5+documentation Also the source code that was hosted on CodePlex is now on GitHub: https://github.com/reflectsoftware – FlyingMaverick Mar 07 '16 at 15:50

Take a look at ReflectInsight's codeplex project. It has some very good documentation.

void MyMethod() 
{ 
   using (RILogManager.Default.TraceMethod(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod()))
   {
      try
      {
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
          RILogManager.Default.SendException(e);
      }
   }    
}

They don't have a DB Listener but you can easily create your own. Start a discussion on codeplex. They are very quick to respond will give you an example on how to start this off.

Thanks code5, I tired their codeplex site but all I can find is their Logging Extensions Getting Started documentation. Where is the documentation for their core API? Where did you get the above code from? – Afraz Ali Sep 23 '13 at 06:14
