A few questions about the Trace.Listeners. I was looking at the samples
on MSDN, and wrote a small sample App. I used a TraceSwitch to
determine the which messages I should print, and Added two trace
listeners, one for a log file, and the other for the event log. The
code works OK.

First problem: For the EventLogTraceListener, all event log entries are
coming out informational. I want some to have severity of error. Is
there any built in facility for this, or does anyone have suggestions
on how to get this effect?

Second problem: In Java, I'm pretty sure that the equivolent trace
facility has some kind of formatter class, so that you can determine
exactly what the output should look like. For instance, I seem to
remember an XML formatter, for example. Is there anything like this for
System.Diagnostics.Trace?

Thanks.
