Thread Safety

This type is not safe for multithreaded operations.

Remarks

The application configuration file can be used to control what listeners are actually used. See the MSDN documentation for the Trace class for details on configuring the trace system.

Events are written using the System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write(string,string) method. The event's logger name is passed as the value for the category name to the Write method.

Compact Framework
The Compact Framework does not support the Trace class for any operation except Assert. When using the Compact Framework this appender will write to the Debug system rather than the Trace system. This appender will therefore behave like the DebugAppender.

Requirements

Namespace: log4net.Appender

Assembly: log4net (in log4net.dll)
