Constructors

	Name	Description
	TraceSection()	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Initializes a new instance of the TraceSection class using default settings.

	PageOutput	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the ASP.NET trace information is appended to the output of each page.
	Properties	Gets the collection of properties.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	RequestLimit	Gets or sets a value indicating the maximum number of requests to the application for which ASP.NET stores trace information.
	SectionInformation	Gets a SectionInformation object that contains the non-customizable information and functionality of the ConfigurationSection object. (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	DeserializeElement(XmlReader^, Boolean)	Reads XML from the configuration file.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	DeserializeSection(XmlReader^)	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Reads XML from the configuration file.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	Equals(Object^)	Compares the current ConfigurationElement instance to the specified object.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	GetHashCode()	Gets a unique value representing the current ConfigurationElement instance.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	GetRuntimeObject()	Returns a custom object when overridden in a derived class.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	Init()	Sets the ConfigurationElement object to its initial state.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	InitializeDefault()	Used to initialize a default set of values for the ConfigurationElement object.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	IsModified()	Indicates whether this configuration element has been modified since it was last saved or loaded when implemented in a derived class.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	IsReadOnly()	Gets a value indicating whether the ConfigurationElement object is read-only.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	Reset(ConfigurationElement^)	Resets the internal state of the ConfigurationElement object, including the locks and the properties collections.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	ResetModified()	Resets the value of the IsModified method to false when implemented in a derived class.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	SerializeElement(XmlWriter^, Boolean)	Writes the contents of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	SerializeSection(ConfigurationElement^, String^, ConfigurationSaveMode)	This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Creates an XML string containing an unmerged view of the ConfigurationSection object as a single section to write to a file.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	SerializeToXmlElement(XmlWriter^, String^)	Writes the outer tags of this configuration element to the configuration file when implemented in a derived class.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	SetReadOnly()	Sets the IsReadOnly property for the ConfigurationElement object and all subelements.(Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)
	ShouldSerializeElementInTargetVersion(ConfigurationElement^, String^, FrameworkName^)	Indicates whether the specified element should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	ShouldSerializePropertyInTargetVersion(ConfigurationProperty^, String^, FrameworkName^, ConfigurationElement^)	Indicates whether the specified property should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion(FrameworkName^)	Indicates whether the current ConfigurationSection instance should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework.(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.)
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	Unmerge(ConfigurationElement^, ConfigurationElement^, ConfigurationSaveMode)	Modifies the ConfigurationElement object to remove all values that should not be saved. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement.)

The TraceSection class provides a way to programmatically access and modify the content of the configuration file trace section. The trace section configures the ASP.NET trace functionality and controls how trace results are gathered, stored, and displayed.

When tracing is enabled, each page request generates trace messages that can be appended to the page output or stored in an application trace log. You can use the ASP.NET trace viewer (Trace.axd) to view the contents of the trace log.

Note
The element is allowed in the section of the configuration hierarchy in the Machine.config file and the Web.config files. It is not allowed in configuration files of Web subdirectories.
