Hi,

Using the EnterpriseLibrary 4.0, is it possible to Log the method
name in the log file.

I have it cofigured thus:
<loggingConfiguration name="Logging Application Block"
tracingEnabled="true"
defaultCategory="General" logWarningsWhenNoCategoriesMatch="true">
<listeners>
<add fileName="trace.log"
header="----------------------------------------"
footer="----------------------------------------" formatter=""

traceOutputOptions="Timestamp" filter="All"

name="FlatFile TraceListener" />
</listeners>

<add template="Timestamp: {timestamp}

</formatters>

<errors switchValue="All" name="Logging Errors &amp; Warnings">
<listeners>
<add name="FlatFile TraceListener" />
</listeners>
</errors>
</specialSources>
</loggingConfiguration>

My Interface ios configured thus:

public interface IDomainEntity
{
[Tag("Log")]
string Validate();
}

I am using the Policy Injection App Block thus

IDomainEntity customer = PolicyInjection.Create<Customer,
IDomainEntity>("Arun", null);
string res = customer.Validate();

I want to log the method name too (in his case Validate()) to the log
file. Currently my app spits out the following log file:

How do I include the method name too in each log entry?

thanks,

I'm not sure if there is a kewyord for the method name to put in the
configuration, but I use Extended property in Exception handler and
that works fine see below...

catch (Exception ex)
{
SetMasterPageProperty(AppConstants.ErrorMessage,
ex.Message);
ex.Data.Add("Method Name: ", "btnInsert_Click()");
Boolean rethrow;
rethrow = ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(ex,
AppConstants.UIPolicy);
}

you can use tracer in enterprise logging which will output method name but I am bot sure about the performance issues
void EnterpriseLogging()
{
using (new Tracer("myCategoryWhichHasSomeListeners"))
{
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i ++)
{
LogEntry log = new LogEntry();
log.Message = string.Format("inside method");
log.Categories.Add("General");
Logger.Write(log);
}
}
}

it will out put something like this plus some more but you can see method name here
