Logging Application Block (RollingFlatFile) creates two simultaneous log files
I am using Logging Application Block (3.1) Rolling flat file trace listener to write debug info to file Debug.log for an ASP.NET 2 web app (aspx). After a session, I have TWO log files created. One called:Debug.log ... the other called:8f3a2757-ad8b-48e6-90cc-366e14d507b8Debug.log They contain overlapping time ranges, for requests from the same user/sessionID/client IP. What causes the two files?(I'm thinking "Web Farm", and will add logging for the AppDomainName and Server IP.) I am having problems with session variables (the reason for the debugging).

Logging Application Block not writing to Event Log on Windows 2000 SP4
Hi. I am having issues logging to the Event Log. Although my code is able to log in the Event Log n my Windows XP box with VS2005, when I deploy to the DEV machine it does not. The DEV box has Windows Server 2000 SP4. I've added another loggingConfiguration listener that instead uses the FlatFileTraceListenerData instead of the FormattedEventLogTraceListenerData and it also works both on my local machine and on the DEV server. Just to ensure permissions are not an issue I've setup my website to use a local admin account for Anonymous Access under Authentication Methods. ...

Help setting up Exception Handling/Logging Application Blocks, and an odd Logging issue...
Man, I've already spent a couple days looking into this and haven't got very far...What is the proper way to use the Exception Handling application block?It looks like you setup various Exception Policies, and those policies can handle exceptions in different ways.  So, for example, if you wanted to setup a policy dealing with Data Access, you'd create a DataAccess Exception Policy, add the type of Exceptions you want to handle a certain way, and then in your code write:try{ // DataAccess code that could throw an error}catch (Exception ex){ bool rethrow = ExceptionPoli...

MS Logging Application Block only writes Information type entries in the Event Log
I just started and gone the MS Logging Application Block working fine, except it only stores Information type entries. The previous method System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry allowed me to pass an EventLogEntryType which would result in the type and icon appearing in the Event Viewer.  Can anyone tell me how to do this with the MS Logging Application Block or direct me to an example? Thank you!...
