Help! Could find type error

Naraendira Kumar R.R.

Hi,
I get the following exception in my appliation, when I use
Trace.WriteLine("Test!")

>> System.Configuration.ConfigurationException: Couldn't find type for class
System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener,System.

I have these settings in my config file & this seems to be exactly as
specified in the document.
=====
<trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4">
<listeners>
<add name="myListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener,System"
initializeData="StackInfo.log" />
<remove type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener,System"/>
</listeners>
</trace>

Can somebody tell me what is causing this error, please. How can I fix this
& get my trace to write to the log file.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Naraendira,

I was able to get the same error by using the MSDN provided code sample.
You can actually eliminate the error by removing the "System" from the
"System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener,System" statement in your
app.exe.config. You'll get the output in the console but nothing gets
written to the text file. I'm assuming you are supposed to get output in
the console as well as the text file. Either way, its looks like it may an
error with the documentation. I'll look into it further.

Thanks Mike.

That actually worked (to my astonishment, I must admit).

So are there rules to when we should specify the Assembly in which the
TraceListener is implemented & when we should'nt?

Gracias,
