Just wanted to brag a little -

Tommorow I'm releasing an alpha version of our companie's latest tracing software.I built this thing entrely myself. It's mostly built using VB6, with the the remoting extentions built using C# and interop. Right now the execs won't commit to a full .Net implementation of it. It's just too costly. Since it started out as a VB6 project, it will also finish this way.

Among its features:

• Tracing plugins for VB,C++ and .Net
• Full docking,floating and auto-hide windows
• Views of the trace data, each view uses a custom filter of what to show.
• Views are grouped by Layouts which can be saved and restored
• Layouts can be categorized and sorted(also saved)
• customizable colors (and icons in later versions)
• Remoting extentions to allow recieving traces from remote machines(via HTTP/TCP)

Next versions will have

• Custom actions on specific filter hits (example: If you encounter error level 3 - play *this* wav file)
• Pluggable views to allow custom handling of recived traces
• Reusable filters and views, shared between multiple layouts

I'll be releasing it for small amounts of production use tommorow. Hopefully, everything will go well...
