I did not write .net 3.5, hence it was broken.
I reworte it and named it 4.0.
Then someone else decide Core was a good way to go.
I have not looked at it yet, so might be broken.

I understand your frustration but you get a solution that works for free and you still complain? Maybe you share your results with the community when you are done!?

Well, it doesn't quite work because it's entangled.  That said, I imagine that the same complaint can be made for code I have on GitHub.

That was the intent. Detangle it, understand thoroughly the implementation of the Kademlia algorithm, document it and post it on CP. Assuming that'll be my next article, that'll make 214 I've contributed to this site so far.

I actually see myself writing this code a few years back. The thing is, I knew a lot, read a lot of books "BUT", have always worked on small projects, never on frameworks or libraries. I even got an MCC Award from Microsoft for my contributions to C# and Windows Forms.
But I had never actually really understood or worked with the SOLID principles before. I hadn't read the GoF book or any other architectural design books, which were my main source of knowledge back then.
I took me a while, to actually work on projects that implemented more sophisticated design patterns. But I still wrote a lot of very good code, using all advanced knowledge I had acquired about language and frameworks. I even wrote good code for embedded devices.
What I believe contributed for my lack of knowledge on design patterns:
- The companies I worked for never really understood the concept so they could spread it.
- Lack of initiative to work and contribute to important open source projects.
- Bad luck. I read a lot of books, should have gotten to a SOLID book.
- Lack of engagement on coding communities in general, like participating of webinars, conferences, etc. My environment was never tech friendly, Brazil is a little late when it comes to tech.
- Ignorance in general, when you don't know that you're missing something, it's hard to realize it.

What is your preferred logger these days then? It's probably been a decade since I've looked, and log4net filled 100% of my needs at the time and since (an idiot friendly way to barf into a textfile).

Granted, log4net is very cool, and one could probably write a plugin (if it doesn't already exist) to log to PapertrailApp. I use that as my primary logging tool (nothing sensitive/secure is being sent to it of course) and the site's filtering features.
That said, since I have the luxury of using my own code base for several projects, which utilizes a pub/sub architecture for messaging between objects, all messages can be logged, exceptions (as a final fallback) are handled by the pub/sub and logged, and I frequently log what Linq2SQL emits (again sanitized.)
The logger is a service, I can replace it with a console logger or whatever (including emailing me exceptions only) so it's a pretty flexible setup.

Papertrail looks interesting.
Although "simple setup" linking to a screenshot of documentation that I couldn't find in 5 minutes of poking around on their site has burned most of my opening enthusiasm.

There's also some better ones out there now - better in that they look like they have more advanced filter/search features. Google "papertrail vs" and let it autocomplete.
And if it helps, my article on PapertrailApp.

Thanks for the pointer.
Something I'll keep in mind if/when I start another greenfield project.
While the concern about off premise data's real; but my employer mostly does solutions using Azure or AWS depending on if the customer wants the ASP.net or a Penguin Stack for their backend; so that ship's largely sailed for most of what I do.

PapertrailApp might work great but that assumes an extraordinarily large amount of things that are, in my opinion, not true for most organizations. The biggest assumption is that the organization wants any of their information, logs or not, going to the cloud. There is a lot of data that should never leave a DMZ. The second is that there is a case for aggregating all of that data together. Depending on the organizations needs, much of what PapertrailApp will do is just straight overkill.
Loggers like log4net and nlog are simple, easy to configure loggers that make rapidly building an application with some tracking and logging quick and easy. I am not saying PapertrailApp wouldn't do the trick but don't hit a tiny nail with a sledge hammer, it never ends well.

Wiser words never spoken.
In my scenarios, I was monitoring the "health state" of 100's of ATM's remotely, and when the central management tool flagged an ATM as being down, going through the logs on PaperTrail to see what errors occurred was immensely useful. In another scenario, again I'm remotely monitoring an installation at a club in Tijuana (I'm in New York) that is communicating to 60 or so BeagleBone single board computers, and being able to view the logs in realtime again has been really useful.
Granted, all those logs could be sent up to a central server on the cloud, or logged locally and I could connect remotely to the local server, etc., but this was a simpler solution.

Marc,
We are trying to get rid of 40 year old Cobol code...
So, while I feel your pain... I would LOVE .Net code using Log4Net()...
Especially when you see code that "recognizes" it's on a development box, and runs differently! LOL.

My take from open source is that beggar can't be choosy. I take it as was threw at me. If I don't like threw it away. Its free.
That said, I'm currently maintaining a project which was written by an idiot. Storing the DOM elements tree and the JavaScript code that handled the element in a self-reference tree in a single database table.

E. Anderson wrote: What's wrong with using log4net?
Nothing really. I just use other tools nowadays. As mentioned earlier, PapertrailApp is something I often use for server applications that I want to monitor remotely. That however would not be appropriate for this project -- nobody wants their personal peer logging to some central site!

Why do people grab kind other peoples' code and complain it isn't coded like they would do it? It isn't enough that they put it out for the benefit of others?
So, can we expect that you submit your version to the authors? And write it well and document it well?

I seem to have hit a nerve with some. As I replied elsewhere, I'll be posting a Code Project article on this once I've got it fully working, I understand all the code, and document my understanding. If you want watch my work-in-progress, the core of it is already a public repo on GitHub.
Once complete, I'll post a comment on the original site (I didn't fork the repo, because I'm only extracting a small piece) and of course mention the original code source on any article/documentation that I write.
