dbMonitor support for non UI apps

[johnselkirk]

Hi,

I have found the dbMonitor application EXTREMELY useful especially when dealing with EF.

One thing I cannot figure out how to do is plug in non-UI applications. (Windows Service based applications)

Does that support exist? Any plans to do it?

Thanks, John.

1. Do you mean tracing application remotely? If yes, refer to http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sqlite ... nitor.html (the last section).
2. Otherwise, you can process the SQL events in your application manually: http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sqlite ... nt_EV.html.

Is that what you mean?

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I really like using dbMonitor to look at the SQL statements being sent to the DB when using EF and have plugged in dbMonitor specific classes (SQLite and Oracle) for doing so.

I have a bunch of Windows Services with EF code in them updating SQLite/Oracle database(s) and wanted to do the same thing.

I made a bad assumption that since it was a control I could not use it in a service but found the KB article http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/sqlite ... nitor.html that shows you it can be done.

Thanks for your help.
