I am required to use TraceSource.TraceEvent in an web application I am developing, after reading this and this msdn links
I am working on a project that is already built, I am making changes to it and updating it.
This is how my web.config is defined.
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<listeners>
<clear/>
<add name="xml"/>
</listeners>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add name="xml" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
traceOutputOptions="Callstack,LogicalOperationStack,ProcessId"
initializeData="C:\logs\Test.svclog"/>
</sharedListeners>
<trace autoflush="true" />
</system.diagnostics>
The code that I am trying to use
var traceSource = new TraceSource("TraceSourceName");
traceSource.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Error, 2, "Hello World !");
But no logging is done to Test.svclog file, I have created an empty file Test.svclog under the C:\logs\ folder.
Please help me out on this.
I think you forgot to close your source.
Just modify your code to this
var traceSource = new TraceSource("TraceSourceName");
traceSource.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Error, 2, "Hello World !");
traceSource.Close();
