I use the Semantic Logging Application Block, and I have the following two classes based on EventSource (internal constant classes are omitted for brevity:
[EventSource(Name = EventSourceNames.Prism)]
public sealed class PrismEventSource: EventSource
{
public static PrismEventSource Log = new PrismEventSource();
[Event(1, Keywords = EventKeywords.None, Level = EventLevel.Informational)]
public void PrismEvent(string message, Category category, Priority priority)
{
if (IsEnabled())
{
WriteEvent(1, message, category);
}
}
}
and
[EventSource(Name = EventSourceNames.Application)]
public sealed class ApplicationEventSource : EventSource
{
public static ApplicationEventSource Log = new ApplicationEventSource();
[Event(2, Message = "Duplicate menu item: {0}", Keywords = Keywords.Menu, Level = EventLevel.LogAlways, Task = Tasks.ImportMenu)]
public void DuplicateMenuItem(string menuItemPath)
{
if (IsEnabled())
{
WriteEvent(2, menuItemPath);
}
}
}
I have one widescreen project listener for both:
RollingLog = RollingFlatFileLog.CreateListener("XTimeDev.log", 2048, "yyyyMMdd HHmmss", RollFileExistsBehavior.Overwrite, RollInterval.None);
RollingLog.EnableEvents(EventSourceNames.Prism, EventLevel.LogAlways);
RollingLog.EnableEvents(EventSourceNames.Application, EventLevel.LogAlways);
However, when I try to log in from my application source, nothing is displayed in the log file:
try
{
Current.RegisterMenuItem(xtimeItem);
}
catch (ArgumentException ax)
{
ApplicationEventSource.Log.DuplicateMenuItem(ax.Message);
}
All that I see in my log file are trigger events. Prism records his source of events, the one I give him in MefBootstrapper.CreateLogger:
class BootLogger : ILoggerFacade
{
public void Log(string message, Category category, Priority priority)
{
PrismEventSource.Log.PrismEvent(message, category, priority);
}
}
Why should the file be written only PrismEventSource, and not ApplicationEventSource?
