Trace class

[martin]

Hi,

The trace class seems to me to be very usefull however there are a few
features of it that have to confused.
I am using visual studio 2003.

the IDE will not let me write

trace.assert(.. ) or trace.writeLine (..) or trace.writeif(. .)

but it will let me write
debug.assert(.. ) or debug.writeLine (..) or debug.writeif(. .)

it is as if it does recognise these methods of the trace class.

I was also interested to note that I can use trace.write(..) , trace.warn(..)
without importing system.diagnost ics
however I must import system.diagnost ics to use debug.assert(.. ) ,
debug.writeline (..)

maybe I need to employ trace listeners to use these methods of the trace
class???

I am a little confused and would appreciate somebody clearing this up for
me.

cheers

martin.

Re: Trace class

You may have confused the two Trace classes.. one's specific to web
applications, and the other comes from System.Diagnost ics as you already
noted...

That might be the explanation...
