compiling webservice using csc.exe

[Nadagouda]

if i build using visual studio no problem everything works great.

if i use csc.exe to compile webservice, and everything works fine. except
writing to log.

i have some code in global.asax and also trace entire webservice which
writes to the log

global.asax

Trace.AutoFlush = true;
StringBuilder strbTemp = new
StringBuilder(" *************** *************** *************** *******" +
Environment.New Line + "[" + AppDomain.GetCu rrentThreadId() + "]");
strbTemp.Append (" " + startTime.ToStr ing("M/d/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff") + " : ");
strbTemp.Append ("Tets40 version ");
strbTemp.Append (Test40.m_WSVer sion);
strbTemp.Append (" initialization start.");
Trace.WriteLine If( Simulator40.m_t raceMonitorSwit ch.TraceVerbose ,
strbTemp.ToStri ng() );

web.config
<system.diagnos tics>
<switches>
<!--Trace Switch Values:
0 Off: No tracing
1 Error: Trace errors only
2 Warning: Trace errors and warnings
3 Info: Trace errors, warnings, and informational events
4 Verbose: Trace everything -->

<add name="TraceMoni torSwitch" value="4" />
</switches>
<trace autoflush="true " indentsize="0">
<listeners>
<add name="Applicati onLogFile"
type="System.Di agnostics.TextW riterTraceListe ner"
initializeData= "D:\Test40\log\ Test40.log" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnost ics>

functionality works fine.

As mentioned here:
http://www.thejoyofcode.com/DebugVie...internals.aspx, you need
to use the /d:TRACE switch with csc.exe otherwise the calls to
System.Diagnost ics.Trace aren't compiled into your code.

They're decorated with the [Conditional("TR ACE")] attribute.
