Enterprise Library 6.0 Logging disable/enable dynamically

Question

I have requirement to log the message in Log file and Event Viewer. But I want if I call one method then it should log the message in Log file not in Event Viewer at that time. And, if I call second method then it should log the message in Event Viewer not in Log file at the same time.

Please advise if there is way to do this using Enterprise Library 6.0.

Hi Vikram,

you can modify settings at runtime. Setup the configuration in an external file and use a file configuration source in app/web.config. 

You can also try creating a custom trace listener and then changing the attribute on runtime by following a similar guide here.

You can access the attribute which stores your path by using Attribute["xxx"] (assuming the attribute in your config file's trace listener node has the path in an attribute named "xxx".)

Hope that helps.
