Trace Switch Issue

[Donald Xie]

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with the BooleanSwitch loaded
from a config file.

<!-- The config file -->
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<switches>
<add name="switchOn" value="1" />
</switches>
<trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4">
<add name="TextListener"

type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener, System"
initializeData="trace.log" />
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

// The code
BooleanSwitch s = new BooleanSwitch("switchOn", "bla");
Console.WriteLine(s.Enabled);

s.Enabled is always false, regardless the value in config
file. If I remove the trace element from the config file,
s.Enabled is initialized correctly according to its value.

I've tried the different permutations of full type name
for the TextWriterTraceListener:

type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener, System,
version=1.0.5000.0, culture=neuture,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"

But the result is always the same. I'm using VS.NET 2003
with .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows XP. Does anyone have
the same problem? Any solutions?

Thanks,
Donald Xie

As soon as I posted it, I realized that I missed the
listeners tags. Sorry.
