My new debugging tool

I’ve checked out Alcon before, but I’ve always been hesitant to use debugging tools which require you to use something other than trace.  That is why I’ve always loved using SOSMax.  Lately I have been working with Smartfox Server and it tends to spit out some funky xml traces when you have debug set to true on the SmartFoxClient.  This unfortunately breaks SOSMax.  So I ran across Alcon again today and figured I’d give it another try.  It’s actually very nice little tool.  It has some cool features beyond merely printing out the trace messages.  Instead of trace, you use Debug.trace…..which isn’t that much more work.  It’s easy to retro fit that into an existing project.  I also use FDT so it is easy to create some templates for the different debug levels.  If you want them you can get the templates I created.
