Re: Tracing to text file in production environment (debug="false")

Hello Ben,

The trace approach is the best to follow, in my opinion. To enable
tracing in ASP.NET just use the following directive inside your
web.config file (system.web section):

<trace enabled="true" />

If you need to capture trace data in a custom trace listener, be sure to
set the writeToDiagnosticsTrace attribute (1) of this element to true also.
