ILogger Visualizer

When debugging applications and an ILogger or ILoggerFactory is available in the code you can view the logging configuration details in a more structured and visually pleasing form:

The extension shows all configured loggers with a set of default properties. For a range of known logging providers, the extension shows a special UI. Like for EventLog:

Updating

I'm suspecting there's a bug in Visual Studio when trying to update extensions based on the new extensions system. The bug will cause the Visual Studio Updater to report that there are no available updates when trying to update to a new ILogger Visualizer version.

To correctly update this extension from a previous version, you can follow these steps:

1. Launch Visual Studio Installer.
2. Click 'Modify' on your Visual Studio version.
3. Go to the Individual components tab.
4. Search for 'ilogger'.
5. Uncheck the 'ILogger Visualizer'.
6. Click 'Modify'
7. Then install the extension from scratch.
