Great post!

If the app they are doing is ASP.NET 2.0 then HealthMonitoring that ships with ASP.NET 2.0 is thier friend, i've noticed that folks overlook it too

Using Trace-Points in Visual Studio

I know the answer (it's 42) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:18:06 GMT

Even though everyone knows about break-points, trace points seem to have been used way less. Developers

I'm not too sure about the app.config issue, but there is an easy workaround. Use some static (be careful to handle multi-threading) member to set the level from your exe.

It would be much more efficient to move the 'if' statement from the inner Error/Info methods to the outer Error/Info methods. If the inner condition is false, then there was no need to make the call in the first place and as such, no call to String.Format either.

There is actually no need for the overloaded methods. If you use params as an argument, you can pass zero arguments as well.

This means you can remove two of the four methods and, thereby, also resolving the issue with the string.Format() being called unnecessarily if tracing is set to false.

Using params indiscriminately is a bad idea as it reduces readability for the user. E.g. if I have a params, how do I convery that the first is the format string and then others are the args to it. Why do you think the BCL defines such overloads instead of using params.

The perf implication is trivial in front of the readability benefits. If perf is important build with the conditional attribute off and C# compiler will NOP all calls to the TRACE methods
