UPDATE
thanks for the comments. i bug fixed and added the suggestions to the code.

Weeks ago i promised to post my ASP.NET frontend for the LogParser tool, but I haven’t had the time to hunt down some bugs and finalize it. (i also found another project called ‘ServerStat’ which you can download on www.logparser.com).

However – i thought i post the most important part of the tool – which is a little method that queries LogParser through COM Interop and converts the results to a DataSet.

private DataSet parseLog(string query)
{
   LogQueryClassClass logParser = new LogQueryClassClass();
   COMIISW3CInputContextClassClass iisLog = new COMIISW3CInputContextClassClass();

   ILogRecordset rsLP = null;
   ILogRecord rowLP = null;

   rsLP = logParser.Execute(query, iisLog);

   DataTable tab = new DataTable(“Results”);

   // copy schema
   for (int i = 0; i < rsLP.getColumnCount(); i++)
   {
    DataColumn col = new DataColumn();
    col.ColumnName = rsLP.getColumnName(i);
    switch (rsLP.getColumnType(i))
    {
     case 1:
      col.DataType = Type.GetType(“System.Int32”);
      break;
     case 2:
      col.DataType = Type.GetType(“System.Double”);
      break;
     case 4:
      col.DataType = Type.GetType(“System.DateTime”);
      break;
     default:
      col.DataType = Type.GetType(“System.String”);
      break;
    }
    tab.Columns.Add(col);
   }

   // copy data
   while (!rsLP.atEnd())
   {
    rowLP = rsLP.getRecord();
    DataRow row = tab.NewRow();

    for (int i = 0; i < rsLP.getColumnCount(); i++)
     row[i] = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(Convert.ToString(rowLP.getValue(i)));

    tab.Rows.Add(row);
    rsLP.moveNext();
   }
  
   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   ds.Tables.Add(tab);
   
   return ds;
}
