What are Trace Listeners?

[chinmay.sahoo]

1. It is a class that listens for trace and debug messages from .NET applications.
3. Display messages to users by writing messages to files.
5. It can modify messages before displaying them, or even we can filter out the messages
7. It is common practice to simply log the message with possibly some formatting for easy r adability.
9. It is derived from the System.Diagnostics.TraceListener base class.
11. The .NET Framework ships with three trace listeners:
13. EventLogTraceListener - logging messages to event logs.
15. DefaultTraceListener - logging messages to standard debug output such as debuggers.
17. TextWriterTraceListener - logging messages to text files.

A audience is an object that gets the track output and outputs it somewhere; that somewhere could be a screen in your development environment.

Trace listeners are objects that are used to receive store and route tracing information. The trace listener decides the final destination where the tracing information is routed to. There are 3 types: Default, TextWriter and EventLog
