Notepad.Extensions.Logging

This is a library for .NET / .NET Core to log your program's output to a handy Notepad window!

Installation

To use:

1. Add a package reference to Notepad.Extensions.Logging.
2. In Startup.cs, call AddNotepad(), like so:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddControllersWithViews();
    
    // ...
    
    services.AddLogging(lb => lb.AddNotepad()); // This is where the magic happens
}

3. Open a new Notepad, Notepad++, or Notepad2 window.
4. Run your application.
