Tracing using a global trace object...

[Wayne]

Hi,
I wonder how I should use dotNets TraceSource logging class globally within my C# application.

All examples I have seen only use the TraceSource class in the Main method but I need to use it from everywhere...

Should I wrap the TraceSource object into a Singleton class or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Wayne,

All examples I have seen only use the TraceSource class in the Main method
but I need to use it from everywhere...

Interesting, I think I haven't really seen any examples that work this way


The main feature description in MSDN has a sample that simply uses a
static variable for a TraceSource - in this case it's private, but I don't
see a reason why you wouldn't make it public or use a public property.
Here's the article in case you haven't seen it:

Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding your question - I'm not totally
sure my reply fits your concerns.
