how to configure in my app.config a TextWriterTrace Listener to use System.Console. Out ?

hello

I'd like to add a listener in the app.config of my application, something like
<add name="myListene r" type="System.Di agnostics.TextW riterTraceListe ner"/>
I can use initializeData= "mylog.txt" to trace in a file but I 'd like to trace in
the console but I can't find how to do ... I can't see any samples of that in msdn
or elsewhere

thanks for your help

I don't know about the trace listener side of things, but it sounds
like you want to redirect the console, so use Console.SetOut to set the
output to your own custom TextWriter which then writes the output
however you want it to.

I have created a trace listener and would like to give it a variable so that when it is installed on a machine I have no control over it can still find its logfile. Right now they are hardcoded as "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\website\log1.txt" is there a way to insert something like "~/logfile.txt") blizzardice <code> <sharedListeners>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
