Note TraceSpy will not evolve, instead, use WpfTraceSpy (see below). Update 2025/08/14 : Added easy support for ETW logging and TraceSpy for Microsoft Logging Abstractions (ASP.NET Core, etc.) Update 2020/12/28 : WPFTraceSpy now has Regex colorizers. Update 2019/08/16 : WPFTraceSpy now can log UWP (Universal Windows Application) LoggingChannel messages. Update 2018/03/10 : we have just released the first version of a WPF version \"WPFTraceSpy\" that's much faster than the original Winforms one when tracing millions of trace events. More info at the end of this page. Notables points of interest are: It's 100% .NET It does not need UAC to be disabled nor special rights (unless you want to use ETW traces, see below) It can remove empty lines (which is very handy to get rid of these pesky trace lines sent by Visual Studio or addins, for example...) The traced application is far less blocked by this tracing tool than by DebugView, because it's more async The Copy (CTRL-C) operation just copies the traced text, and not the full line (a full line copy using CTRL-L feature is there though) The process name of the traced application is optionally displayed instead of the process id (if available and not dead at display time) The find dialog has an autocomplete feature Lines that contain newline characters (\\r, \\n) are not displayed as normal lines (DbgView does this","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/smourier","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/smourier/TraceSpy/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
