Hi
Can anyone help me with how to update the system.diagnostics section of an application configuration file?
Specifically I want to be able to update the trace switch levels held in the config file from code.
Here is the format of the app.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="2">
<listeners>
<!-- Optional field, trace listener to accept debug messages and detailed exception information -->
<add name="XML" type="TraceListeners.XmlTraceListener, TraceListeners" />
</listeners>
</trace>
<switches>
<!-- This switch controls tracing, possible values are:
0 = Off
1 = Errors
2 = Errors and warnings
3 = Errors, warnings and information
4 = Verbose (Errors, warnings, information & deep detail debug tracing.)
-->
<add name="TsMain" value="4" />
<add name="TsInit" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
I want to be able to update the TsMain and TsInit trace levels from code using the System.Configuration namespace rather than directly manipulating the xml through code.
I tried:
Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
ConfigurationSection systemDiagnostics = config.GetSection(
"system.diagnostics");
But I cannot access the key value pairs for the switches. What I want to do is something like:
systemDiagnostics.Switches.Key["TsMain"].Value = 2;
Any help with this greatfully received.
