Debugging into NServiceBus so you can solve your own questions

In my previous post I talked about how one of the main problems with NServiceBus is the learning curve to become familiar with all the setup and configuration options. As NServiceBus is an Open Source project, you are able to to download the code. Once you’ve done this in a few simple steps you can start stepping into the source code as if it's your own code. Which makes solving some of the more complex questions with NServiceBus soooo much easier. For example, what does the "Lite" profile do? Well we can find out by stepping through the code. Here is a quick guide on setting up NServiceBus so you can debug into the code.

Downloading the Source code

The NServiceBus downloads page explains how to download the source code. I went for version 2.0 of the code.

You can get the source for the 2.0 release here.

Changing Default Logging Behaviour for different profiles with the Generic Host in NServiceBus

I’ve been doing a lot of work with NServiceBus recently. I have to say it’s an amazing framework, saving my company hours and hours as we didn’t have to write out own Publish and Subscribe framework over the top of MSMQ. One of the tough parts about the framework is the learning curve to become familiar with all the setup and configuration options. Hence this post, I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve learnt over the last 2 weeks, lucky you eh?
