Re: approach for defining loggers

What you describes matches in my mind a Loggers. Your whole app can have a "Business" logger and sub-categories if you need them like "Business.Accounting", and "Business.HR". Gary On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 6:09 PM, Nicholas Duane wrote: > > > > I looked over that stackoverflow
