TraceListener Class

Provides the abstract base class for the listeners who monitor trace and debug output.

Definition

public abstract class TraceListener: Object, IDisposable

Members Table

The following table lists the members exposed by the TraceListener object. Click a tab on the left to choose the type of member you want to view.
Methods
Method Description
Close When overridden in a derived class, closes the output stream so it no longer receives tracing or debugging output.
Dispose Overloaded. Releases all resources used by the TraceListener.
Equals Overloaded. Compares two objects to determine if they are equal. (Inherited from Object)
Fail Overloaded. Sends out an error message to the listener you create when you implement the TraceListener.
Flush When overridden in a derived class, flushes the output buffer.
GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Inherited from Object)
GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
ReferenceEquals Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance. (Inherited from Object)
ToString Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
TraceListener Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of TraceListener.
Write Overloaded. Writes a message, category name, or the value of an object's ToString method to the listener.
WriteIndent Writes the indent to the listener you create when you implement this class, and resets the NeedIndent property to false.
WriteLine Overloaded. Writes a message, category name, or the value of an object's ToString method to the listener, followed by a line terminator.
Properties
Property Description
IndentLevel Gets or sets the indent level.
IndentSize Gets or sets the number of spaces in an indent.
Name Gets or sets a name for this TraceListener.
NeedIndent Gets or sets a value indicating whether to indent the output.
