Using and extending System.Diagnostics trace logging. 

This project uses the inbuilt features of the System.Diagnostics 
namespace, and shows how logging and tracing can be integrated into a 
client application whilst taking advantage of the services exposed by 
System.Diagnostics.

The Essential.Diagnostics.dll contains extensions to the .NET Framework 
System.Diagnostics trace listeners, filters, and other utilities.

Version History
---------------

v1.2.501.0 (May 2013)

* Feature #16: Added EmailTraceListener, BufferedEmailTraceListener,
  with examples and documentation.
* Add Essential.Diagnostics.Config package that inserts sample .config 
  sections, with a dependency on the main Essential.Diagnostics.
  This is now the preferred way to add a reference (i.e. with the config)
* Add System.Diagnostics Configuration package with sample .config
  sections for Framework listeners.
* Added TraceFormatter parameters: AppDomain, Listener, MessagePrefix.
* Issue #14: Inverted condition in TraceListenerBase.TraceWriteAsEvent
* Issue #21: RollingFileTraceListener should be flushed when it's closed.
* Issue #22: Missing timezone specified "Z" in RollingXmlTraceListener
* Issue #23: HttpContext template items not working correctly

v1.1.20103 (January 2012)

* Feature #4: Add HttpContext items to TraceFormatter parameters: RequestUrl, 
  RequestPath, UserHostAddress, AppData.
* Issue #1: TraceFormatter.cs dependent on System.Windows.Forms.
  We only want the application name part, so use either Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() 
  directly, or for native code use kernel32 GetModuleFileName(), without checking 
  security.
* Issue #2: traceSource.TraceInformation("Information message") throws exception 
  with SqlDatabaseTraceListener. (Issue was in TraceListenerBase and affected all 
  listeners.)
* Issue #12: Allow currently open log file to be shared with another program (for 
  read access only). 

v1.1.10711 (July 2011)

* RollingFileTraceListener, with trace format templates
* RollingXmlTraceListener, rolling files compatible with Service Trace Viewer
* Added TraceFormatter parameters: LocalDateTime, DateTime (preferred name 
  for UtcDateTime), PrincipalName, WindowsIdentityName, Thread (name, if
  available, otherwise id)
* Added new parameters to ExpressionFilter
* Added new SQL parameters to SqlDatabaseTraceListener
* Added Diagnostics.Abstractions library, for better dependency injection support
* Make backwards compatible with .NET 2.0 SP1
* Updated hello logging example for new trace listeners
* Added filter examples

v1.0.1011 (October 2010)

* Release as nuget package
