Hanselminutes Podcast 52 - End to End Tracing

My fifty-second podcast is up - that's a full year of podcasts. Oy! This one talks about End to End Tracing, and how there's magic in the XmlTextListener. You don't need WCF to do E2ETracing, but it helps.

Do also remember the archives are always up and they have PDF Transcripts, a little known feature that show up a few weeks after each show.

Our sponsors are /n software and Telerik.

 Telerik is a new sponsor. Check out their UI Suite of controls for ASP.NET. It's very hardcore stuff. One of the things I appreciate about Telerik is their commitment to completeness. For example, they have a page about their Right-to-Left support while some vendors have zero support, or don't bother testing. They also are committed to XHTML compliance and publish their roadmap. It's nice when your controls vendor is very transparent.

As I've said before this show comes to you with the audio expertise and stewardship of Carl Franklin. The name comes from Travis Illig, but the goal of the show is simple. Avoid wasting the listener's time. (and make the commute less boring)

  • The basic MP3 feed is here, and the iPod friendly one is here. There's a number of other ways you can get it (streaming, straight download, etc) that are all up on the site just below the fold. I use iTunes, myself, to listen to most podcasts, but I also use FeedDemon and it's built in support.
  • Note that for now, because of bandwidth constraints, the feeds always have just the current show. If you want to get an old show (and because many Podcasting Clients aren't smart enough to not download the file more than once) you can always find them at http://www.hanselminutes.com.
  • I have, and will, also include the enclosures to this feed you're reading, so if you're already subscribed to ComputerZen and you're not interested in cluttering your life with another feed, you have the choice to get the 'cast as well.
  • If there's a topic you'd like to hear, perhaps one that is better spoken than presented on a blog, or a great tool you can't live without, contact me and I'll get it in the queue!

Enjoy. Who knows what'll happen in the next show?

Congratulations on a superb first year, Scott. Here's hoping that it's been as fulfilling and enjoyable for you as it has been for your listeners!

Your fifty second podcast? Does that mean a "hanselminute" has been quantified as 10 seconds shorter than a standard minute? You really don't want to waste my time!

Not sure how this relates to ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) - same thing with different names, or maybe ETW is a technology which enables some E2E debugging scenarios? Anyhow, I first read about it in "Essential ASP.NET 2.0" (Fritz Onion), pg. 269. There's also an MS.COM Ops Podcast on it here: http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=2&subtabid=26&i=1056

It's XmlWriterTraceListener, not XmlTextListener ;)
