AdminTraceLogger Class

A logger that provides a configurable via registry tracing, which is good for setup including many processes (avoid editing many config files) and processes which we don't own (mmc) where we're hosted.

The AdminTraceLogger type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	AdminTraceLogger()	Initializes a new instance of the AdminTraceLogger class. This constructors reads TraceLevel from the the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TeamFoundationServer\11.0\Admin\TraceLevel.
	AdminTraceLogger(TraceLevel)	Initializes a new instance of the AdminTraceLogger class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Default	The default instance of the AdminTraceLogger.
	TraceLevel	Gets the TraceLevel of this logger.

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateObjRef	Security Critical. Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
	Debug(String)	Writes debug message to the trace. This constrained to dev debugging, so it's safe if you want to trace a password etc...
	Debug(String, array<Object[])	Writes debug message to the trace. This constrained to dev debugging, so it's safe if you want to trace a password etc...
	Enter
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Error(Exception)	Formats an exception and writes it as an error message to the trace.
	Error(String)	Writes an error message to the trace.
	Error(String, array<Object[])	Writes an error message to the trace.
	Exit
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetLifetimeService	Security Critical. Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Heading	Writes a heading lines to the trace.
	Heading2	Writes a heading lines to the trace.
	Info(String)	Writes an informational message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Info or TraceLevel.Verbose.
	Info(String, array<Object[])	Writes an informational message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Info or TraceLevel.Verbose.
	InitializeLifetimeService	Security Critical. Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone(Boolean)	Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
	RegisterPassword	All Admin logging and tracing comes through the trace class. We will error if (1) the TFS_SCAN_PASSWORDS envvar is set and (2) it's debug This is expensive to enable but good for testing that passwords don't end up in a flight recorder trace or log Debug only so we don't care about passwords not being secure strings
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Verbose(String)	Writes a verbose message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Verbose.
	Verbose(String, array<Object[])	Writes a verbose message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Verbose.
	Warning(Exception)	Formats an exception and writes it as a warning message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Warning, TraceLevel.Info or TraceLevel.Verbose.
	Warning(String)	Writes a warning message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Warning, TraceLevel.Info, or TraceLevel.Verbose.
	Warning(String, array<Object[])	Writes a warning message to the trace, provided that TraceLevel of this logger is set to TraceLevel.Warning, TraceLevel.Info, or TraceLevel.Verbose.
	WriteLine(TraceLevel, String)	Writes a message to the trace, provided that traceLevel passed as first argument is is not lower than the logger TraceLevel. In debug build, this method can also ensure that output does not contain passwords.
	WriteLine(TraceLevel, String, array<Object[])
