Getting Started, "Automate Exception Logging," by Craig Utley [Visual Studio Magazine, June 2004]

Before doing anything, make sure you download EMAB (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnbda/html/emab-rm.asp) and compile it. After compiling EMAB, you are ready to use the project files.

Next, run the SQL statement from the article in order to create the table if you plan on logging to SQL Server.

There are two projects but both are in the same solution, so open the csEMABClient.sln file. After opening the project, make sure the reference to EMAB is working properly. If it is, examine the App.config file to verify that the publishers you want to test are turned on. You are then ready to run the application.
