Does the log viewer have to be written in C#? If not, then i like 'Large Text File Viewer' http://www.swiftgear.com/

Im happy for it to be written in any language though I would prefer C# cause it would make it easier for me to hack

looks nice for web apps, but not sure how easy it is to fit this for use windows apps ... ideally im looking for a small exe that can consume a bunch of .log files and let me filter through them ...

-1. Its a log viewer the questioner is asking for, not error logging.

For myself, I use a very lightweight (but 100% flexable solution). I install cygwin and then use:

tail -f LOGFILE | grep SOMETHING

You could also use 'less' in conjunction with grep if you wanted to view the whole file.
