Enterprise Library .NET 2.0 Logging - HTML email

I recommend you to create another "sink", for example, an HTMLEmailSink, and configure the LogStrategy to use that sink depending on the configuration.

Another idea is to change the existing EmailSink. The text probably gets formatted there.

I don't know exactly what you need, but those are interesting idea.

Since the Enterprise Library sometimes need to be registered with strong name and any change make us re-register it all, I created my own Logging Application Block code. It's very simple and allows us to configure the logging, to create as many LogSinks as we need, to simply modify the LogStrategy and to avoid using the Configuration Application Block.

Cnatra,

Sinks are in .NET 1.1.  They are no longer present in the Logging Application Block for Enterprise Library for .NET 2.0  Instead there are Trace Listeners, Formatters, etc.

As far as I have been able to determine there is no way to directly create html email messages.  The only option I see is to modify the Logging.Configuration.EmailMessage class to also take in a bit field indicating if you want HTML messages or Text messages.  Although I have not figured out how to then cause this change to be an option through the enterprise library configuration interface, only to manually modify the config file....

Please read the question carefully and do not answer if you don't know the situation being discussed.

Okay I found how to do this.  Not built in, but what I ended up doing was modifying Enterprise libarary to accept a parameter called IsBodyHtml.  I passed this parameter through all the way so that it can be accessed as a boolean field in the Enterprise Library confiuration program.

No I can set a bit field per listener to achieve this.

For others:

The files I needed to modify in the Logging and related assemblies included:
EmailMessage.cs
EmailTraceListener.cs
EmailTraceListenerData.cs
EmailTraceListenerNode.cs
