CustomTraceListener Question

[CGuy]

Hi,

I have a question. I have implemented a custom trace listener (derived from
the TextWriterTrace Listener type).
Now, I add this custom trace listener to the list of listeners and then call
a Trace.Indent() before I write to the trace. But the file produced by my
CustomTraceList ener does not indent the text. How do I do this?

Re: CustomTraceList ener Question

The TraceListener class has an "IndentLeve l" property that you can access to
obtain the level of indenting you should use. Here is an example I wrote
for you:

class Class1
{
public Class1(string[] args)
{
System.Diagnost ics.Debug.Liste ners.Clear();
System.Diagnost ics.Debug.Liste ners.Add(new DateStampTraceL isener());
Debug.WriteLine ("Testing");
Debug.Indent();
Debug.WriteLine ("Testing Indent");
}

#region Application Entry Point
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
new Class1(args);
Console.WriteLi ne("\nPress [ENTER] to exit...");
Console.ReadLin e();
}
#endregion
}

class DateStampTraceL isener : TraceListener
{
public override void Write(string info)
{ Console.WriteLi ne("".PadLeft(I ndentLevel * 2, ' ') + DateTime.Now + "
" + info); }

public override void WriteLine(strin g info)
{ Write(info + "\n"); }
}
