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

Hi Efran.

Thanks for your response.  After modifying my web.config as you
suggest and running the application with debug="false" it appars my
Trace.Write commands are being ignored as the customer listener I have
setup (dumps to a text file) has not been firing.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ben
