[ACCEPTED]-Redirect Trace output to Console-trace
You can add the following to your exe's 3 .config file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add name="logListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="cat.log" />
<add name="consoleListener" type="System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener"/>
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
I included the TextWriter as 2 well, in case you're interested in logging 1 to a file.
Joel,
You could do this instead of the app 3 config method:
Trace.Listeners.Add(new ConsoleTraceListener());
or this, if you want to manage 2 adding or removing the listener during the 1 life of the app:
ConsoleTraceListener listener = new ConsoleTraceListener();
Trace.Listeners.Add(listener);
Trace.WriteLine("Howdy");
Trace.Listeners.Remove(listener);
Trace.Close();
Great solution, but I have a situation where 6 I have different dll's being run by the 5 same calling exe, so I don't want to modify 4 the calling exe's .config file. I want each 3 dll to handle it's own alteration of the 2 trace output.
Easy enough:
Stream outResultsFile = File.Create ("output.txt");
var textListener = new TextWriterTraceListener (outResultsFile);
Trace.Listeners.Add (textListener);
This will, of course, output 1 Trace output to the "output.txt" file.
