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

Hi Ben,

I need to know a bit more about your implementation...
Is your trace.axd showing the issued traces? Did you add the custom
listener to the Trace.Listeners collection? Did you flush trace streams
(using Trace.Flush or Trace.AutoFlush) as needed?

HTH,
