ASP.Net WebAPI RC ILogger

Question

I just upgraded to the RC of webApi and found that a whole lot of things are no longer as they were.

We were using the ILogger ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.http.common.ilogger(v=vs.108).aspx) interface to log events/exceptions from inside our API. However after upgrading this no longer seems to exist. Does anyone know where this has gone/what this has turned into?

Answer 1

With new WebAPI the ILogger interface has been removed and now you should be using ITraceWriter instead as described below:

Monitoring and diagnostics: You can enable tracing by providing an ITraceWriter implementation and configuring it as a service using the dependency resolver. The ILogger interface has been removed.

Here is the official documentation and here is an example to start with ITraceWriter
