FileLogTraceListener in asp.net 2.0 project

Hi,
I'm setting up tracing for a c# asp.net 2.0 web app.
I saw an interesting TraceListener called FileLogTraceListener that resides
in the
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging namespace.

Is there some drawback on using this VisualBasic class?

I found similar functionality in a trace listener for entlib 2.0

Hi Garlo,

Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup.

As for the FileLogTraceListener class, it is just a simple File based
TraceListener contained in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging namespace,
also since this is a new class in .net framework , so I think it is purely
.net implemented and won't have any particular drawback for ASP.NET
application. In addition, there are also some other TraceListeners under
the System.Diagnostics namespace that can help perform file based tracing,
e.g: TextWriteTraceListener , XmlWriteTraceListener ...
