Installation

Download the attached VSIX file and double-click to install in Visual Studio 2022.

What's Changed

Fixed

• Multi-line ForContext patterns now correctly highlighted (#3)
  • Properties in templates like {@Items} are now highlighted when ForContext is on one line and logging method on the next
  • Added SyntaxTreeAnalyzer fallback for complex multi-line patterns
  • Enhanced regex detection for ForContext chains split across lines
• Multi-line outputTemplate patterns now correctly highlighted (#5)
  • Properties like {Timestamp} are now highlighted when outputTemplate: parameter is on one line and template string on the next
  • Enhanced concatenated template fragment detection
  • Added dedicated regex for multi-line outputTemplate detection
• ForContext logger variables now correctly detected (#7)
  • Template properties like {ListenUri} are now highlighted when using logger variables from ForContext calls (e.g., var program = log.ForContext<Program>())
  • Enhanced SerilogCallDetector with dotted method patterns (.Information, .Debug, etc.)
  • Added duplicate processing detection to prevent overlapping matches between regex patterns
  • Separated quick check patterns into logical arrays for better maintainability

Added

• Performance benchmarking infrastructure for overlap detection algorithms
  • Benchmarks comparing O(n²) vs binary search vs SortedSet approaches
  • Empirical validation showing original O(n²) algorithm performs best for typical usage patterns

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2022 (17.0) or later
• .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later
