WriteLineIf(Boolean, Object, String)

Source:: Debug.cs

Source:: Debug.cs

Writes a category name and the value of the object's ToString() method to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection if a condition is true.

public:
 static void WriteLineIf(bool condition, System::Object ^ value, System::String ^ category);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void WriteLineIf (bool condition, object value, string category);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void WriteLineIf (bool condition, object? value, string? category);

[<System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")>]
static member WriteLineIf : bool * obj * string -> unit

Public Shared Sub WriteLineIf (condition As Boolean, value As Object, category As String)

Parameters

condition: Boolean

The conditional expression to evaluate. If the condition is true, the category name and value are written to the trace listeners in the collection.

value: Object

An object whose name is sent to the Listeners.

category: String

A category name used to organize the output.

Attributes: ConditionalAttribute

Examples

The following example creates a TraceSwitch named generalSwitch. This switch is set outside of the code sample.

If the switch is set to the TraceLevel Error or higher, the example outputs the first error message to the Listeners. For information on adding a listener to the Listeners collection, see the TraceListenerCollection class.

Then, if the TraceLevel is set to Verbose, the example outputs the second error message on the same line as the first message. A line terminator follows the second message.

   // Class-level declaration.
   // Create a TraceSwitch.
   static TraceSwitch^ generalSwitch = 
      gcnew TraceSwitch( "General","Entire Application" );

public:
   static void MyErrorMethod( Object^ myObject, String^ category )
   {
      // Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
      #if defined(DEBUG)
      Debug::WriteIf(generalSwitch->TraceError, "Invalid object for category. ");
      
      // Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
      Debug::WriteLineIf( generalSwitch->TraceVerbose, myObject, category );
      #endif
   }

// Class-level declaration.
// Create a TraceSwitch.
static TraceSwitch generalSwitch = new TraceSwitch("General", "Entire Application");

static public void MyErrorMethod(Object myObject, string category)
{
    // Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
    Debug.WriteIf(generalSwitch.TraceError, "Invalid object for category. ");

    // Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
    Debug.WriteLineIf(generalSwitch.TraceVerbose, myObject, category);
}

' Class-level declaration.
' Create a TraceSwitch.
Private Shared generalSwitch As New TraceSwitch("General", "Entire Application")


Public Shared Sub MyErrorMethod(myObject As Object, category As String)
    ' Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
    Debug.WriteIf(generalSwitch.TraceError, "Invalid object for category. ")
    
    ' Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
    Debug.WriteLineIf(generalSwitch.TraceVerbose, myObject, category)
End Sub

Remarks

By default, the output is written to an instance of DefaultTraceListener.

The category parameter can be used to group output messages.

This method calls the WriteLine method of the trace listener.

Notes to Inheritors

You can minimize the performance penalty of instrumenting your application by using If...Then statements instead of using WriteLineIf(Boolean, String) statements. The following two code examples send the same debugging message. However, the first example is much faster when tracing is off, because if mySwitch.TraceError evaluates to false, you do not call WriteLine(String). The second example always calls WriteLineIf(Boolean, String), even when mySwitch.TraceError is false and no tracing output is produced. This can result in unnecessary execution of arbitrarily complex code.

First example:

if(mySwitch.TraceError)
    Debug.WriteLine("aNumber = " + aNumber + " out of range");

Second example:

Debug.WriteLineIf(mySwitch.TraceError, "aNumber = " + aNumber + " out of range");

Source:: Debug.cs

Source:: Debug.cs

Source:: Debug.cs

Writes a message to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection if a specified condition is true.

public:
 static void WriteLineIf(bool condition, System::Diagnostics::Debug::WriteIfInterpolatedStringHandler % message);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void WriteLineIf (bool condition, ref System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteIfInterpolatedStringHandler message);

[<System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")>]
static member WriteLineIf : bool * WriteIfInterpolatedStringHandler -> unit

Public Shared Sub WriteLineIf (condition As Boolean, ByRef message As Debug.WriteIfInterpolatedStringHandler)

Parameters

condition: Boolean

The conditional expression to evaluate. If the condition is true, the message is written to the trace listeners in the collection.

message: Debug.WriteIfInterpolatedStringHandler

The message to write.

Attributes: ConditionalAttribute

Remarks

This overload was introduced in .NET 6 to improve performance. In comparison to the overloads that take a String parameter, this overload only evaluates any interpolated string formatting items if the message is required.

By default, the output is written to an instance of DefaultTraceListener.

This method calls the TraceListener.WriteLine method of the trace listener.
