Retrieving initializeData attribute from TextWriterTraceListener

[Guest]

I set up a TextWriterTrace Listener in the App.config file. I'd like to be
able to tell, programmaticall y, which file it's using. However, I don't seem
to be able to get at the initializeData attribute. The Attribute collection
attached to the TextWriterTrace Listener is empty.

Any ideas as to how I might get at this file name without having to parse
App.config?

config is largely for things that are known... if you need to do this on
the fly, then try:

Trace.Listeners .Add(new TextWriterTrace Listener(path)) ;

Sorry - I may have misunderstood the question. I suspect you'll struggle
to do this the other way around (i.e. find the file from the listener) -
sorry.
