Assembly Binding Log Viewer fixed window size

by Miha Markič 24. January 2007 16:00

If you are somewhat serious about .net development you certainly know Assembly Binding Log Viewer utility (aka Fuslogvw.exe), do you? If you don't, you should - it lists all assembly bindings (both successfull and failed ones, depending on settings). 

Now, while this utility is very useful it has a crappy UI. What person made Assembly Binding Log Viewer  window of fixed size (at this point I won't mention the other great parts of UI)? I mean it is usually packed with data which is displayed in a tiny list - at the time when 20" LCDs are more and more available.

Somebody need serious dogfooding and some lessons in UI. Or perhaps it is time to write a custom viewer.

A challenge for you? To write a custom viewer? You did a fine work with dataset visualizer Wink

Yes, the UI is so crappy that I don't use it at all. I've set

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion]
"LogFailures"=dword:00000001
"LogResourceBinds"=dword:00000001
"ForceLog"=dword:00000001
"LogPath"="C:\\Temp\\FusionLog"

Every log entry is an .htm file. The folder is not automatically created. If it doesn't exists log entries are not written.
