---

Hi, I like to do tracing in my c# code. I don't like to add statements in each method to do it. Is there any way to use a method to do trace when rest of the methods in the application getting invoked at runtime.

Thanks, P.Gopalakrishnan.

Answer 1

If you use VS 2005 (and probably 2008, and maybe 2003), you can just add a tracepoint, similarly to the way you add breakpoints. You can then define what output you want when that method/code line is hit. It will only output those traces when run inside VS, but it might be a good way to start.

Answer 2

If you have it available to you, the Profiler in Visual Studio will trace your method calls and provide a call tree etc.
