CalsoftLogger.Web 1.0.3

CalsoftLogger.Web SDK

A modernized SDK-style version of the CalsoftLogger.Web project, providing Web API endpoints for the CalsoftLogger functionality.

Features

• RESTful API endpoints for logging operations
• ASP.NET Web API 2.x integration
• Automatic model binding for complex log data
• Built on modern SDK-style project format
• Conditional package versioning based on target framework
• Assembly binding conflict resolution - designed to avoid System.* assembly conflicts

API Endpoints

The Web API provides endpoints for:

• Logging messages with different severity levels
• Retrieving log entries
• Filtering and sorting log data
• Managing log configurations

Requirements

• .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher
• IIS or IIS Express for hosting
• SQL Server (for database logging backend)

Installation

From NuGet (if published)

Install-Package CalsoftLogger.Web

From Local Source

# Add local package source
dotnet nuget add source "path\to\CalsoftLogger.Web.Sdk\bin\Release" --name "LocalCalsoftLoggerWeb"

# Install the package
dotnet add package CalsoftLogger.Web --source "LocalCalsoftLoggerWeb"

Testing Installation

Use the included test script to verify the package installs without conflicts:

.\test-package.ps1

Assembly Binding Conflicts - Fixed!

This SDK package has been specifically designed to avoid assembly binding conflicts that can occur when installing SDK-style packages into traditional .NET Framework projects.

What was fixed:

• Disabled implicit framework references that cause System.* conflicts
• Added ExcludeAssets="runtime" to package dependencies
• Included only necessary framework references
• Prevented automatic binding redirect generation

If you still encounter conflicts:

The error message you showed should no longer occur with the updated package. If you still see binding redirect warnings:

1. First try - Clean and rebuild your solution after installing the updated package
2. If warnings persist - The warnings are likely harmless, but you can add the suggested binding redirects to your app.config or web.config if needed

Configuration

Configure the Web API through the standard Web.config file. The logging backend uses the same configuration as the core CalsoftLogger library.

Usage

Once deployed, the Web API exposes HTTP endpoints for logging operations:

POST /api/calsoftlogger/log
GET /api/calsoftlogger/logs
GET /api/calsoftlogger/logs?level=Error&from=2025-01-01

Dependencies

Package versions are automatically selected based on target framework:

• Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.2.3
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi 5.2.3
