Enterprise Library Logging Application Block

[arunairs@gmail.com]

Hi,

Using the EnterpriseLibra ry 4.0, is it possible to Log the method
name in the log file.

I have it cofigured thus:
<loggingConfigu ration name="Logging Application Block"
tracingEnabled= "true"
defaultCategory ="General" logWarningsWhen NoCategoriesMat ch="true">
<listeners>
<add fileName="trace .log"
header="----------------------------------------"
footer="----------------------------------------" formatter=""

</listeners>

</loggingConfigur ation>

My Interface ios configured thus:

public interface IDomainEntity
{
[Tag("Log")]
string Validate();
}

I am using the Policy Injection App Block thus

IDomainEntity customer = PolicyInjection .Create<Custome r,
IDomainEntity>( "Arun", null);
string res = customer.Valida te();

I want to log the method name too (in his case Validate()) to the log
file. Currently my app spits out the following log file:
----------------------------------------

How do I include the method name too in each log entry?

thanks,

Re: Enterprise Library Logging Application Block

I'm not sure if there is a kewyord for the method name to put in the
configuration, but I use Extended property in Exception handler and
that works fine see below...

catch (Exception ex)
{
SetMasterPagePr operty(AppConst ants.ErrorMessa ge,
ex.Message);
ex.Data.Add("Me thod Name: ", "btnInsert_Clic k()");
Boolean rethrow;
rethrow = ExceptionPolicy .HandleExceptio n(ex,
AppConstants.UI Policy);
}
