"You can learn more about using Intellitrace here. It can be pretty useful for debugging, and oddly is not widely known or used."

It is my understanding that you have to have Visual Studio Ultimate in order to use Intellitrace. Perhaps this is the root issue of "not widely known or used"?

You can now use Autofac to create filters that support DI without using attributes. :)

If you wanted to change something at runtime, such as the level or verbosity, you just need to get back to the trace writer instance in the config and set those properties. In this case, it would be okay to do an HttpConfiguration.Services.GetTraceWriter(), downcast it to SystemDiagnosticsTraceWriter and set a property.

Any change to verbosity, level or TraceSource should be respected on the very next trace.

Is that what you're looking for?

Sorry to be tardy. Are you asking how an ActionFilter could pull from the DI container? Because ActionFilters are expressed as attributes, you can't inject the attributes themselves, but you could write an ActionFilter that was knowledgable about GlobalConfiguration.Configuration to get the dependency resolver to ask for some service instance it would execute when called. Would that do what you're looking for?

If i put the configuration in the code, how do you change it during runtime?

Awesome,Thanks for sharing. Do you have any idea how to inject dependencies in ActionFilter ?

Are you using the most recent Nuget packages?

See blogs.msdn.com/.../asp-net-web-api-and-httpclient-available-on-nuget.aspx for more information.

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services is available in WebHosted WebApi projects

I guess this feature is not available yet through NuGet releases as 'GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services' class does not seem to exist.
