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 😉
Hehe, challenge is to find the time :-). It is on my list though.
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.
