Windows & Upgrade

Spent the night installing Windows 7 and re-installing software on my home machine. I did a clean install so everything needed to be re-installed!

Windows Management Framework is here!

You can read all about it here.

Logparser and Charts

I'll start off with this subject with some of the basics, then I'll try and get a bit more complex and perhaps even write up a helper class.

Logparser uses OWC (only 2003 and earlier...)which is a blessing and a curse. It is a curse since not much is out there on OWC but a blessing in that OWC has a lot of charts! Having said this, logparser has OWC built in, but that should not stop any developer from sending output to a jquery or flash charting application and charting it that way. It is just easier with OWC. After you install the OWC on your server, here is a quick script to see if it works:

COMTSVInputContextClassClass inputFormat = new COMTSVInputContextClassClass();
chartOuputFormat = new COMChartOutputContextClassClass();
chartOuputFormat.chartType = "ColumnStacked";

string query = "select * from abc.log"
LogQueryClass logQuery = new LogQueryClassClass();

logQuery.ExecuteBatch(query, inputFormat, chartOuputFormat);

The above code is hacked up and I did not really test it, but should do the trick. I'll start posting more detailed helper classes this week.

Crazy Day

Nutty day at work...will try and post the charts and logparser tomorrow.

nHibernate Trouble

As you know, I am using nHibernate in my new project...had some minor issues with it and will blog about it this week.
