Turn on Debugging in the Debug Client Build

Summary To aide debugging the .NET display client we provide a debug build along with the Release build. If you are experiencing problems with your client we may ask you to run the debug build. This will give us more information about the specific error you are having.

More often than not the debugging build will only be used when an Exception occurs - otherwise the client has built in logging directly back to the Xibo Server interface.

The Build A MSI for the build can be located at: https://launchpad.net/xibo/+download. Once installing this build Debugging will be activated.

Add a Trace Listener All you need to do to enable debugging in this build is to add a trace listener to the XiboClient.exe.config file found in the installation directory.

The Installation directory will normally be: C:\Program Files\Xibo\Xibo Player Debug Build\

Open the XiboClient.exe.config file and add the following:

    

Just add this somewhere between the: elements.

Running the Client You can then run the client as normal and debugging notices will be made available in the "XiboDebug.log" file. This will be found in the same directory as XiboClient.exe.config (unless you speficied another location for it).
