View WinWidgets Application Log?

[lylebrown]

I'm wondering if there's a log file saved somewhere that I'm missing. Not sure if it saves somewhere by default on a crash, or just continuously, etc.

Would be useful for submitting issues.

Windows has the Event Viewer which shows crash logs for all applications. So far I've used that when tracing issues from the stable releases.

Thanks, I can see the logging there is pretty detailed. Will every event with a source of .NET Runtime start with Application: WidgetsDotNet.exe? Just want to make sure I don't confuse any other unrelated .NET app events.

After I understand these a bit better I might throw together a PR that expands the README with info on logging/troubleshooting. (Or a link to a different file, perhaps something like TROUBLESHOOTING.md, if that makes more sense to you.)

Yes, WidetsDotNet.exe should always be WinWidgets. This is the internal name that I originally used when creating the project. This can be changed to be WinWidgets too of course, which is something I've been wanting to do but never got around to doing it.

After I understand these a bit better I might throw together a PR that expands the README with info on logging/troubleshooting. (Or a link to a different file, perhaps something like TROUBLESHOOTING.md, if that makes more sense to you.)

That would be great. The TROUBLESHOOTING.md idea sounds great. Thanks for the help!

Put in pull request #73 for this one. I'll close out this discussion as we can discuss further in the pull request if needed.
