Q: 

How do I apply tracefilters and sourcefilters in an application

Can anyone point me in decent documentation for the Trace system in the .NET Framework?

I feel like I understand TraceListeners reasonably well, along with the TraceSwitch and BooleanSwitch but I can't seem to wrap my head around what exactly the TraceFilter and SourceFilter are supposed to be use for and how to effectively apply them.

The MSDN documentation for these particular items is poor to say the least - it doesn't give more than a terse explanation of what they are and I can't seem to connect the dots between what they are and what they're supposed to be used for and how they're supposed to be used.

If anyone can either give a brief explanation or point me to docs that do explain, it would be helpful.

TIA

The MSDN pages suck for this specific area of the documentation - it explains the what, but doesn't explain the when, where, why or how. I went there first and called no joy, then after looking for the missing info on Google came up and asked here. I will check out that ebook and blog though, thanks.
