Logging in the library is done with log4net.

To view the logs generated by the library configure an appender and record the namespaces below Liath.ViewRanger

Here's a sample application

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    XmlConfigurator.Configure(); // configure log4net from the app.config

    var appKey = @"123456789";
    var username = "user1";
    var pin = "1234";
    var client = new ViewRangerClient(appKey);
    var lastLocation = client.GetLastPosition()
        .ForUser(username, pin)
        .Request();
}

The following configuration will write the logs to a text file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/>
  </configSections>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
  </startup>
  <log4net>
    <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file value="Log.txt" />
      <appendToFile value="true" />
      <rollingStyle value="Size" />
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
      <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
      <staticLogFileName value="true" />
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
      </layout>
    </appender>
    <!-- Log debug messages the client library -->
    <logger name="Liath.ViewRanger">
      <level value="Debug" />
    </logger>
    <root>
      <!-- Log errors from our application -->
      <level value="ERROR" />
      <appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>
</configuration>
