  log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets. log4net is a port of the excellent log4j framework to the .NET runtime.

• Fabian’s Blog [SharePoint MVP] : Benutzerdefinierte STSADM-Kommandos entwickeln

  STSADM, das Werkzeug für den Administrator, lässt sich bei Bedarf um benutzerdefinierte Kommandos erweitern. Wie Extensions für STSADM implementiert und bereitgestellt werden, möchte ich in diesem Artikel beschreiben. In meinem Beispiel möchte ich eine Erweiterung implementieren, die mir eine beliebige URL dekodiert. Hinter diesem Projekt steckt auch ein praktischer Aspekt, da ich oft die Anforderung habe, die GUID aus einer kodierten List-ID (z.B. List=%7BEA98DB28%2D51B3%2D41D7%2D8A96%2DB1C55328020B%7D) auszulesen.
