DebugFns Class

A collection of static (Shared in Visual Basic) methods used to provide code assertions, tracing and logging functionality for debug builds of DevForce applications.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Class DebugFns 
   Inherits TraceFns

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DebugFns

public class DebugFns : TraceFns

Remarks

Both DebugFns and TraceFns provide identical behavior except that calls to methods in this class may be suppressed by setting the conditional DEBUG flag to false. In Visual Studio .NET projects, creating a debug build enables DEBUG. DEBUG is normally off in a release build.

Output is to the IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeConfig.LoggingInfo.LogFile specified in the the IdeaBlade configuration file, and can also be viewed using the Trace Viewer utility, or any class implementing ITraceSubscriberCallback.

TraceFns filters can be set using the IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeConfig.LoggingInfo.RejectFilters and IdeaBlade.Core.IdeaBladeConfig.LoggingInfo.AcceptFilters nodes in the IdeaBlade configuration file to enable and disable logging from specific namespaces.
