Assist with debugging .NET application

To assist with debugging any peculiar behavior with code in Visual Studios, use the Microsoft Service Trace Viewer.

1.) Create a trace file - c:\logs\Traces.svclog

2.) Add diagnostics configuration section to the config file

  <system.diagnostics>

    <sources>

      <source name="System.ServiceModel"

              switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing"

              propagateActivity="true">

        <listeners>

          <add name="traceListener"

              type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"

              initializeData="c:\logs\Traces.svclog"  />

        </listeners>

      </source>

    </sources>

  </system.diagnostics>

3.) Run the application to produce the behavior and check the log file for assistance.
