## Build Status
# Serilog.Sinks.WinForms (.net framework >= 4.6)
[](https://badge.fury.io/nu/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms)
# Serilog.Sinks.WinForms.Core (.net 5-6)
[](https://badge.fury.io/nu/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms.Core) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms.Core)
Writes [Serilog](https://serilog.net) events to Windows Froms Application TextBox or Datagridview control from anywhere in your application.
### Getting started
Install the [Serilog.Sinks.WinForms](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms/) package from NuGet:
```powershell
Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.WinForms
```
Install the [Serilog.Sinks.WinForms.Core](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms.Core/) package from NuGet:
```powershell
Install-Package Serilog.Sinks.WinForms.Core
```
To configure the sink in C# code, call `WriteToSimpleAndRichTextBox()` or `WriteToJsonTextBox()` or `WriteToGridView()` during logger configuration:
##### Simple Text Formatted Log And Rich TextBox Log Control
SimpleLogTextBox or RichTextBoxLogControl can be used from visual studio toolbox once the package is added to the project.
```csharp
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteToSimpleAndRichTextBox()
.CreateLogger();
```
SimpleLogTextBox or RichTextBoxLogControl with custom Configuration. SimpleLogTextBox accepts [ITextFormatter](https://github.com/serilog/serilog/blob/dev/src/Serilog/Formatting/ITextFormatter.cs)
```csharp
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteToSimpleAndRichTextBox(new MessageTemplateTextFormatter("{Timestamp} [{Level}] {Message} {Exception}"))
.CreateLogger();
```
##### Json Formatted Log
JsonLogTextBox can be used from visual studio toolbox once the package is added to the project.
```csharp
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteToJsonTextBox()
.CreateLogger();
```
JsonLogTextBox with custom Configuration. JsonLogTextBox accepts [ITextFormatter](https://github.com/serilog/serilog/blob/dev/src/Serilog/Formatting/ITextFormatter.cs)
```csharp
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteToJsonTextBox(new JsonFormatter())
.CreateLogger();
```
##### Datagridview Log
GridLog can be used from visual studio toolbox once the package is added to the project.
```csharp
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteToGridView()
.CreateLogger();
```
#### Log For Context
SimpleLogTextBox, RichTextBoxLogControl or JsonLogTextBox can be configured to display log for specific ***Context***.
All of the controls have property **For Context** which can be configured with ***namespace.classname*** for example ***TestApplication.Form2*** you can find the sample here >> [Sample](https://github.com/umairsyed613/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms/blob/master/src/Sample/TestApplication/Form2.cs)
**Note:** Remember to configure Logger instance with ***Enrich.FromLogContext()***
#### Save and Clear Logs
SimpleLogTextBox, RichTextBoxLogControl or JsonLogTextBox have two method available for saving log to file or clear the log from the log control.
***ClearLogs()*** AND ***SaveLogToFile()***
Check the usage in sample application here [Sample](https://github.com/umairsyed613/Serilog.Sinks.WinForms/blob/master/src/Sample/TestApplication/Form2.cs)
