TextWriterTrace Listener

Sean Feldman

Hello,
I'm trying to insert TextWriterTrace Listener to web.config file, but it
fails all the time. This is my web.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<compilation defaultLanguage ="c#" debug="true" />
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnl y" />
<authenticati on mode="Windows" />
<authorizatio n>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
<trace enabled="false" requestLimit="1 0" pageOutput="fal se"
traceMode="Sort ByTime" localOnly="true " />
<sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnection String="tcpip=1 27.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionSt ring="data source=127.0.0. 1;Trusted_Conne ction=yes"
cookieless="fal se" timeout="20" />
<globalizatio n requestEncoding ="utf-8" responseEncodin g="utf-8" />
</system.web>
<system.diagnos tics>
<trace autoflush="true " indentsize="4">
<listeners>
<add name="myListene r" type="System.Di agnostics.TextW riterTraceListe ner"
initializeData= "myListener.txt " />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnost ics>
</configuration>

In code behind I try to output something like this:
System.Diagnost ics.Trace.Write Line("Tracing.. .");

But all the time I get an error:

Parser Error Message: Exception in configuration section handler.

Source Error:

Line 13: <globalizatio n requestEncoding ="utf-8" responseEncodin g="utf-8" />

Line 16: <trace autoflush="true " indentsize="4">
Line 17: <listeners>
Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\TraceListen er\web.config Line: 15

Thank you for assistance.

Hi,
thatnks, but this didn't help.
I get an exception when web.config is parsed at line that contains
<system.diagnos tics>
Can't figure out why. I didn't implement any custom listener, just added
TextWriterTrace Listener.
Weird.

The concept of tracing in ASP.NET is very different from that in Windows
..NET applications. Tracing in ASP.NET outputs trace information to the
client's browser. System.Diagnost ics listeners don't work in ASP.NET. (At
least this is my experience. Will be happy to hear if someone can
demonstrate opposite).

System.Diagnost ics listeners work in ASP.Net.
It was demonstrated by Alik Levin (Microsoft IL) during the last conference.
Unfortunately, I can't figure out why web.config parsering fails on reading
<system.diagnos tics> part...

In this section here,
<add name="myListene r" type="System.Di agnostics.TextW riterTraceListe ner"
initializeData= "myListener.txt " />

I thought the type attribute suppose to have the format of
type="[Class Name] , [Assembly Name]"

look in your machine.config file and you will see alot of examples of custom
section handlers

Hi,
somewhere I read that if you're using assemblies from system.dll, then you
don't have to write type="...". But still, this is not the problem.
