SourceFilter Class
Indicates whether a listener should trace a message based on the source of a trace.
Namespace: System.Diagnostics
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The SourceFilter type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SourceFilter | Initializes a new instance of the SourceFilter class, specifying the name of the trace source. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ShouldTrace | Determines whether the trace listener should trace the event. (Overrides TraceFilter.ShouldTrace(TraceEventCache, String, TraceEventType, Int32, String, Object[], Object, Object[]).) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
One of several different types of filters can be assigned to a trace listener to provide a layer of screening beyond that provided by the trace switch. The filter can be used to control the level of tracing that is produced by the listener.
This class filters events based on a specific trace source set by the user.
SourceFilter overrides the ShouldTrace method and defines a Source property that specifies the name of the trace source to be traced by the listener.
 Note |
|---|
This filter is provided because multiple trace sources can simultaneously use the same trace listener. |
