Writing to a new log file each day with TraceSource
c#
Solution
What would I have to do to create a new log file each day instead of writing to the same log file every time?
You'd have to make your own TraceListener instead of using `TextWriterTraceListener`. This would allow your `TraceListener` implementation to change log files daily, or do any other custom behavior you wish.
Problem
I am using a logger in my application to write to files. The source, switch and listeners have been defined in the app.config file as follows: ``` <system.diagnostics> <sources> <source name="LoggerApp" switchName="sourceSwitch" switchType="System.Diagnostics.SourceSwitch"> <listeners> <add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="myListener.log" /> </listeners> </source> </sources> <switches> <add name="sourceSwitch" value="Information" /> </switches> </system.diagnostics> ``` Inside, my .cs code, I use the logger as follows: ``` private static TraceSource logger = new TraceSource("LoggerApp"); logger.TraceEvent(TraceEventType.Information, 1, "{0} : Started the application", DateTime.Now); ``` What would I have to do to create a new log file each day instead of writing to the same log file every time?
