A few months ago (back at the beginning of March) at the annual offsite meeting my virtual team had in Lisbon, my colleague Doug held an hour session about LogParser and some of the cool features it has. Doug promised to blog about it with more details, so I don’t want to steal him an argument (and he for sure knows more than me on the subject), but I started play with it to analyze some logs I had, and among the others I wrote a couple of scripts to automate some tasks I previously had to do manually, and just wanted to share with you (and post on my blog as a future reference). So, here’s the deal: you may know from Tess, strong named assemblies should not be deployed in the /bin folder; and if you ever had to troubleshoot a managed memory leak, you probably know that if you have an assembly which is loaded multiple times in memory because you deployed it in the /bin folder of every application you have, it’s a good idea to install it in the GAC to avoid wasting server resources. So far so good, but how to find those assemblies?…
