This topic contains tables listing the classes commonly used for .NET Framework logging and tracing. The tables are divided into log-output classes, log-listener classes, and log-filtering classes. To enter the .NET Framework 2.0 documentation and find a more comprehensive listing, see .NET Framework Class Library Overview.
Basic Classes for Log Output
The following table lists and describes the main classes used for log output.
Class |
Description |
|---|---|
Provides a set of methods and properties that help debug your code. This class cannot be inherited. |
|
Provides a set of methods and properties that help you trace the execution of your code. This class cannot be inherited. |
|
Provides a set of methods and properties that help you trace the execution of your code. |
Log-Listener Classes
The following table lists and describes the main log-listener classes.
Class |
Description |
|---|---|
Provides the abstract base class for the listeners who monitor trace and debug output. |
|
Directs tracing or debugging output to either the standard output or the standard error stream. |
|
Provides the default output methods and behavior for tracing. |
|
Directs tracing or debugging output to a TextWriter, such as StreamWriter, or to a Stream, such as FileStream. |
|
Provides a simple listener that directs tracing or debugging output to an EventLog. |
|
Provides a simple listener that directs logging output to file. |
|
Directs tracing or debugging output to a TextWriter or to a Stream such as Out or FileStream. |
|
Directs tracing or debugging output to a TextWriter or to a Stream such as FileStream. |
Log Filtering and Switching Classes
The following table lists and describes the main log filtering and switching classes.
Class |
Description |
|---|---|
Provides an abstract base class to create new debugging and tracing switches. |
|
Provides a simple on/off switch that controls debugging and tracing output. |
|
Provides a multilevel switch to control tracing and debug output without recompiling your code. |
|
Provides a multilevel switch to control tracing and debug output without recompiling your code. |
|
Provides a severity level based switch that controls tracing output. |
|
Specifies if a listener should trace a message based on the source of a trace. |
|
Defines a method for trace-filter implementations. |
