Enterprise Library for .NET 2.0 - Instrumentation
The new Enterprise Library for .NET 2.0 has disabled instrumentation by default. It is very reasonable to do this because in low trust scenarios you are not able to install Performance Counters, Windows Event Logs/Sources or update WMI schemas. The previous version had "configurable" instrumentation by some #ifdefs in the source code. To change instrumentation you had to recompile the whole library every time you wanted to target a different deployment and therefore trust scenario. This time the Enterprise Library team had more time to make it really configurable. The outcome is remarkable easy to use. You can enable/disable the following instrumentation settings:
  • Error logging of all Application Blocks to the Windows Event Log.
  • Performance Counter writes.
  • Firing of WMI Events.

Hi Alois,

Just wondering if you've considered doing posts like this one as articles? For those of us reading the main feed, long posts are unbelievably annoying. You could create an article and then create a post in which you refer to it. IMHO, that would be a much nicer solution...

Hi Jay,

sorry I did forget to add the ProjectInstaller in the sample code. I have updated the article to make it work. When you do an installutil <yourexec> you should see some output like this:

>installutil ConsoleApplication4.exe
