FileLogTraceListener.BaseFileName Property

The BaseFileName property determines the base name for the log files that the FileLogTraceListener class writes to.

The FullLogFileName property gives the current full log-file name. It is generated according to the log path, the base name, the date, and a number to distinguish it from different versions of the log. New log files are created on an as-needed basis.

The explicit form of the full log file name is path\baseName[-dateStamp][-iteration].log, where

• The path part is determined by the Location property and, if that property value is set to Custom, the CustomLocation property.

• The baseName part is the fundamental log name, specified by the BaseFileName property.

• The dateStamp part has the format "YYYY-MM-DD", and it is shown when LogFileCreationSchedule is set to Daily or Weekly.

• If more than one log file is needed with the same baseName and dateStamp, the iteration part, a positive Integer, is added to the file name.
