Well this post has been long overdue and I apologize for the lack of activity as we’ve been absent from our blog and twitter feed since late last year and we’d like to change that and make sure we’re bringing you new posts and updates to the community about ReflectInsight, our Extensions and what we have planned for the future.
I’ll start off with a few updates coming out this week for our logging extensions associated with Serilog, NLog and log4net to make sure their supporting the latest dependencies for each of these libraries. We also have some tweaks to our samples to make sure that their consistent across each sample and log to the Viewer, our ReflectInsight binary file and also a text file so that you can easily see how to use each of these destinations. Finally we’ll be announcing a new library on our GitHub repository called Plato.NET, it’s a small yet powerful framework for any .NET app. More details to come on that later this week.
Other Updates for 2017 include:
Your feedback is very important to us, so please tell us want you want to see in future versions of from ReflectInsight, tell us how you’re using ReflectInsight and what problems it solves for you, tell us what causes you pain (hopefully none). All this feedback is appreciated and goes into making ReflectInsight an even better product.
If you have ideas for ReflectInsight and want to help/contribute to the docs, extensions, library or even the viewer, please contact us. We’d love to have you join our team.
Thanks

We’ve updated our .NET Diagnostic Debug/Trace Extension to now include support for TraceSource.
The TraceSource class is used by applications to produce traces that can be associated with the application. TraceSource provides tracing methods that allow you to easily trace events, trace data, and issue informational traces. Trace output from TraceSource can be controlled by configuration file settings. The configuration file is located in the folder with the application executable and has the name of the application with the .config file name extension added. For example, the name of the configuration file for TraceSourceSample.exe is TraceSourceSample.exe.config. The configuration file can be used to determine where the trace information is to be sent and what levels of activity are to be traced.
To configure your application to use the new ReflectSoftware Insight Extension for TraceSource, you will need to add the the following to your app configuration file:
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="SourceTrace" switchValue="All">
<listeners>
<clear />
<add name="ReflectInsight.Trace" />
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add name="ReflectInsight.Trace" type="ReflectSoftware.Insight.RITraceListener, ReflectSoftware.Insight" />
</sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
There is a getting started guide over on the InsightExtensions site that goes into more detail about configuring this extension.
We’ve added additional message types to support TraceSource. These message types are Start, Stop, Suspend, Resume, Transfer and Verbose.
Here is a screenshot demonstrating these message types:
By adding support for TraceSource, this allows you to leverage your current investment in this, but leverage the power and flexibility that comes with the ReflectInsight viewer. You can now view your Debug/Trace messages in real-time, in a rich viewer that allows you to filter out and search for what really matters to you.
