Examples

The following example increments and decrements the indent level and emits tracing messages.

Trace::WriteLine( "List of errors:" );
Trace::Indent();
Trace::WriteLine( "Error 1: File not found" );
Trace::WriteLine( "Error 2: Directory not found" );
Trace::Unindent();
Trace::WriteLine( "End of list of errors" );

Trace.WriteLine("List of errors:");
Trace.Indent();
Trace.WriteLine("Error 1: File not found");
Trace.WriteLine("Error 2: Directory not found");
Trace.Unindent();
Trace.WriteLine("End of list of errors");

Trace.WriteLine("List of errors:")
Trace.Indent()
Trace.WriteLine("Error 1: File not found")
Trace.WriteLine("Error 2: Directory not found")
Trace.Unindent()
Trace.WriteLine("End of list of errors")

This example produces the following output:

List of errors:  
     Error 1: File not found  
     Error 2: Directory not found  
End of list of errors
