Traceswitch set in web.config not working

[WT]

Hello,
Using .NET 2 and visual studio 2005 for writting asmx web services.
For asp.net web sites I used to implement trace system using TraceSwitch set
in web.config.
Using
Trace.WireteLin eIf(MySwitch.Tr aceError,"text" );
in my code. Having defined TExtWriterTrace Listener.
But this has no effect and I can't get any tracefile created, is this a
limitation of web services ?
Thanks for help
CS.

Trace, when used without qualification in ASP.Net, refers to the Page.Trace
object which is, in reality a System.Web.Trac eContext object.

To use a TraceSwitch, you need to use System.Diagnost ics.Trace. Just
qualify your call to Trace and your TraceSwitch should work.

Hi,

Thank you for your post.

Based on my understanding, your question is how to use
System.Diagnost ics.Trace in ASP.NET web application. If I've misunderstood
anything, please feel free to post here.

In order for the trace to take effect, you need to recompile your
application with the trace flag set. You do that by setting the
compilerOptions attribute to ="/d:TRACE" in the configuration line for the
language compiler you want to support tracing. Other than configuration
<system.diagnos ticsin web.config, you also need to modify the compiler
switch to enable trace flag:

<system.codedom >
<compilers>
<compiler language="c#;cs ;csharp"
extension=".cs"
compilerOptions ="/d:TRACE"
......

For more information, please refer to following MSDN Library article:

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.

Thanks Walter, we discovered finally thta it is working.
We were using a bad directory for our tracefile, ACL were missing for the
web service account.

We have now a different problem, when we expect one tracefile nammed
MyTrace.log, we get it ....and several other files with names prefixed with
a Guid like number followed byè our tracefile name, just like
951316786532187 9632Mytrace.log

Why asp.net is generating theses files ?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

Thank you for your update.

I'm sorry I didn't mentioned that when the ASP.NET worker process is
running under a service account, that account will be used to access the
log file. Anyway, I'm glad you've figured that out, I'm sure your
experience will benefit the community a lot. Thank you for your effort!

As for the tracefile name gets changed, I was unable to reproduce the
problem here, would you please telling me more details such as the
web.config and your code to write log? Thank you!
