.Net Trace Listener

1. Listener with configuration

app.config

<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="4">
      <listeners>
        <add name="myListener" 
          type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" 
          initializeData="TextWriterOutput.log" />
        <remove name="Default" />
      </listeners>
    </trace>
  </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

Program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace DiagnosticsTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TextWriterTraceListener listener1 = new TextWriterTraceListener(System.Console.Out);
            Trace.Listeners.Add(listener1);
            Trace.WriteLine("Trace Info");
            Trace.Flush();
        }
    }
}

2. Listener without configure file

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;

namespace TraceNoConfig
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Stream myFile = File.Create("TextFile.txt");
            TextWriterTraceListener listener1 = new TextWriterTraceListener(myFile);
            Trace.Listeners.Add(listener1);
        }
    }
}
