Directs tracing or debugging output to a text writer, such as a stream writer, or to a stream, such as a file stream.
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization := True)> _ Public Class DelimitedListTraceListener _ Inherits TextWriterTraceListener
Dim instance As DelimitedListTraceListener
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Synchronization = true)] public class DelimitedListTraceListener : TextWriterTraceListener
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Synchronization = true)] public ref class DelimitedListTraceListener : public TextWriterTraceListener
public class DelimitedListTraceListener extends TextWriterTraceListener
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: Synchronization. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.
The trace output is in a delimited text format that uses the delimiter specified by the Delimiter property.
You can enable or disable a DelimitedListTraceListener through the application configuration file and then use the configured DelimitedListTraceListener in your application. Alternately, you can create a DelimitedListTraceListener in your code.
To configure a DelimitedListTraceListener, edit the configuration file that corresponds to the name of your application. In this file, you can add a listener, set the properties for a listener, or remove a listener. The configuration file should be formatted like the following example:
<configuration> <system.diagnostics> <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4"> <listeners> <add name="delimitedListener" type="System.Diagnostics.DelimitedListTraceListener" delimiter=":" initializeData="delimitedOutput.txt" traceOutputOptions="ProcessId, DateTime" /> <remove name="Default" /> </listeners> </trace> </system.diagnostics> </configuration>
If an attempt is made to write to a file that is in use or unavailable, the file name is automatically prefixed by a GUID.
Listeners are intended to be used by methods of the Debug, Trace, and TraceSource classes to write trace information. Listener methods, other than constructors, are not intended to be called directly from application code.
