NLog is a simple logging library similar in concepts to log4net, designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind. NLog project is hosted at sourceforge.net.
Features
.NET, .NET Compact Framework and Mono 1.0 support
very easy to configure, both with a config file and programmatically
easy to use - interface is identical to Console.WriteLine |

TraceTool is C# trace Framework and a viewer.
The viewer can also display real time traces from Event Log messages, OutputDebugString, and text files (like unix tail-f)
The framework can also be used as an appender for logNet,
system.Trace and Microsoft Enterprise Instrumentation Framework (EIF).
You can send simple traces, tree oriented traces, objects, dump and call stack.
Finally, the framework is also available for Java and Delphi. |

Common.Logging is a library to introduce a simple abstraction to allow you to select a specific logging implementation at runtime. There are a variety of logging implementations for .NET currently in use, log4net, Enterprise Library Logging, NLog, to name the most popular. They do not share a common interface and therefore impose a particular logging implementation on the users of your library. Common.Logging solves this problem. |

LMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) is an application-wide error logging facility that is completely pluggable. It can be dynamically added to a running ASP.NET web application, or even all ASP.NET web applications on a machine, without any need for re-compilation or re-deployment.
Once ELMAH has been dropped into a running web application and configured appropriately, you get the following facilities without changing a single line of your code:
* Logging of nearly all unhandled exceptions.
* A web page to remotely view the entire log of recoded exceptions.
* A web page to remotely view the full details of any one logged exception.
* In many cases, you can review the original yellow screen of death that ASP.NET generated for a given exception, even with customErrors mode turned off.
* An e-mail notification of each error at the time it occurs.
* An RSS feed of the last 15 errors from the log. |
