Does Enterprise Library 6 work with Visual Studio 2013 and/or 2015?

问题

It seems it does not and we are planning to use it (Logging, Exception, etc..) for future projects. Is it still supported? I do not see a lot of activity around this tool as there used to be.

We already have NewRelic so also be helpful to know if NewRelic can do logging/Exception handling already. For example, can I create custom logs or exceptions and see them in the new relic dashboard?

回答1:

It does. You may add Enterprise Library 6 into your project via Nuget Here is the sample application.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Formatters;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.TraceListeners;

namespace Practice.Logging
{
    internal class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            LoggingConfiguration loggingConfiguration = BuildProgrammaticConfig();
            var defaultWriter = new LogWriter(loggingConfiguration);

            // Check if logging is enabled before creating log entries.
            if (defaultWriter.IsLoggingEnabled())
            {
                defaultWriter.Write("Log entry created using the simplest overload.");
                defaultWriter.Write("Log entry with a single category.", "General");
                defaultWriter.Write("Log entry with a category, priority, and event ID.", "General", 6, 9001);
                defaultWriter.Write("Log entry with a category, priority, event ID, " + "and severity.", "General", 5, 9002, TraceEventType.Warning);
                defaultWriter.Write("Log entry with a category, priority, event ID, " + "severity, and title.", "General", 8, 9003, TraceEventType.Warning, "Logging Block Examples");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Logging is disabled in the configuration.");
            }
        }

        private static LoggingConfiguration BuildProgrammaticConfig()
        {
            // Formatter
            var formatter = new TextFormatter();

            // Trace Listeners
            var eventLog = new EventLog("Application", ".", "StackOverflow #24309323");
            var eventLogTraceListener = new FormattedEventLogTraceListener(eventLog, formatter);

            // Build Configuration
            var config = new LoggingConfiguration();
            config.AddLogSource("General", SourceLevels.All, true)
                  .AddTraceListener(eventLogTraceListener);

            config.IsTracingEnabled = true;
            return config;
        }
    }
}

To use Enterprise Library Configuration Console Extension

To install the extension into the Visual Studio 2013 you may follow the workaround steps below.

• download Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ConfigConsoleV6.vsix from the link

A VSIX file is a zip file that uses the Open Packaging Convention. You can rename the .VSIX extension to .ZIP and use any zip browser (including the Windows File Explorer) to browse its contents.

• extract the file into a folder
• locate the file called extension.vsixmanifest in the folder
• open the file with notepad.exe
• locate

  <VisualStudio Version="11.0">
    <Edition>Ultimate</Edition>
    <Edition>Premium</Edition>
    <Edition>Pro</Edition>
  </VisualStudio>
</SupportedProducts>

• and replace it with the part below

• save the file and exit
• compress folder as a ZIP file again

Technically the same as @cilerler suggests, but ready-to-download-and-use solution.

Visual Studio 2013: Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ConfigConsole.V6.VS2013.vsix (Source) Visual Studio 2015: Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ConfigConsole.V6.VS2015.vsix (Source)

回答3:

Yes it does. This link will provide all the neccessary details https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn169621.aspx

Also you can refer below sites for detailed implementations. You can install vsix version or binaries (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38789) to create configs. vsix sometimes does not work so you can modify extension.vsixmanifest as stated in below post.

The project I have is using Enterprise Library 6.0, while the VSIX seems to target EL 5. While I have not been able to get VSIX to work correctly in Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, I am able to get the Enterprise Library 6 Configuration tool from the binaries provided by Microsoft. Here is a link to the download.

Select EnterpriseLibrary6-binaries.exe. Install it by unzipping the file to a folder. The 64-bit Enterprise Library Configuration tool named EntLibConfig.exe. There is a 32-bit version named EntLibConfig-32.exe as well.

回答5:

We need these following dlls in the bin folder of the asp.net or console or windows app

•Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
•Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.DesignTime.dll
•Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.Design.HostAdapterV5.dll
•Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.EnvironmentalOverrides.dll

Practically Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll is optional is what I see for entlib 6

source from entlib 5 msdn

For Visual Studio 2017.
