Object Model

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
<ServiceBehaviorAttribute(ConfigurationName="TracePublisher", 
   ConcurrencyMode=ConcurrencyMode.Multiple, 
   InstanceContextMode=InstanceContextMode.Single)>
Public Class TracePublisher 
   Inherits System.MarshalByRefObject
   Implements System.IDisposable

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TracePublisher

[ServiceBehavior(ConfigurationName="TracePublisher", 
   ConcurrencyMode=ConcurrencyMode.Multiple, 
   InstanceContextMode=InstanceContextMode.Single)]
public class TracePublisher : System.MarshalByRefObject, System.IDisposable

Remarks

The TracePublisher is used internally within DevForce applications to publish all trace and debug messages generated by calls to TraceFns.WriteLine and DebugFns.WriteLine. Internal subscribers to this publisher are the logger which allows the log file to be written, and the Trace Viewer Utility.

DevForce applications generally do not work directly with the TracePublisher, except in advanced implementations where a custom subscriber is needed (see TraceSubscriber for more information.) You may, however, find you need to override some of the defaults used by the TracePublisher, most notably the default port. You override defaults using the logging element in the IdeaBlade configuration file.

The TracePublisher uses Windows Communication Foundation when hosted as a service for remote subscribers. By default, the communication channel uses NetTcpBinding, no security, and turns off reliable sessions. To override these defaults you must create an entry for this service in the serviceModel section of the configuration file.
