Reactive.Logger.Client.Win

About

The Reactive.Logger.Client.Win is an executable able connect to any XAF app that uses the Reactive.Logger.Hub.

Details

The client is an executable XAF Windows Forms application and not a XAF module, which at the moment is distributed from Nuget.org but in future will use Chocolatey.org as it makes more sense. So you download the package and run the exe which will monitor the ports configured in your model. By default it monitors the range

If a XAF application that has the Reactive.Logger.Hub found transmitting in this range it will connect and persist all message that describe the remote application pipeline flow.

Bellow is a screencast when running the client and execute one of our tests. The Bind_Only_NullAble_Properties_That_are_not_Null test makes sure that the ModelMapper module will only bind those model properties that have value.

The information can be overwhelming however simple filters, like the one applied in the previous screencast, let us extract very useful data as to what the ModelMapper did.

The client is a Hybrid logger and and uses both the Logger and the Hub so everything discussed there applies also here.
