Writes information about the trace to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.

Overloads

WriteLine(Object)	Writes the value of the object's ToString() method to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.
WriteLine(String)	Writes a message to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.
WriteLine(Object, String)	Writes a category name and the value of the object's ToString() method to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.
WriteLine(String, String)	Writes a category name and message to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.

WriteLine(Object)

Source:: Trace.cs

Source:: Trace.cs

Source:: Trace.cs

Writes the value of the object's ToString() method to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection.

public:
 static void WriteLine(System::Object ^ value);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("TRACE")]
public static void WriteLine (object? value);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("TRACE")]
public static void WriteLine (object value);

[<System.Diagnostics.Conditional("TRACE")>]
static member WriteLine : obj -> unit

Public Shared Sub WriteLine (value As Object)

Parameters

value: Object

An Object whose name is sent to the Listeners.

Attributes: ConditionalAttribute

Examples

The following example creates a TraceSwitch named generalSwitch. This switch is set outside the code sample.

If the switch is set to the TraceLevel Error or higher, the example outputs the first error message to the Listeners. For information on adding a listener to the Listeners collection, see the TraceListenerCollection class.

Then, if the TraceLevel is set to Verbose, the example outputs the name of the object on the same line as the first message. The second message is followed by a line terminator.

// Class-level declaration.
// Create a TraceSwitch.
private:
   static TraceSwitch^ generalSwitch = 
      gcnew TraceSwitch( "General", "Entire Application" );

public:
   static void MyErrorMethod( Object^ myObject )
   {
      #if defined(TRACE)
      // Write the message if the TraceSwitch level 
      // is set to Error or higher.
      if ( generalSwitch->TraceError )
      {
         Trace::Write( "Invalid object. " );
      }
      
      // Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level
      // is set to Verbose.
      if ( generalSwitch->TraceVerbose )
      {
         Trace::WriteLine( myObject );
      }
      #endif
   }

// Class-level declaration.
 // Create a TraceSwitch.
 static TraceSwitch generalSwitch = new TraceSwitch("General", "Entire Application");

 static public void MyErrorMethod(Object myObject) {
    // Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
    if(generalSwitch.TraceError)
       Trace.Write("Invalid object. ");

    // Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
    if(generalSwitch.TraceVerbose)
       Trace.WriteLine(myObject);
 }

' Class-level declaration.
' Create a TraceSwitch.
Private Shared generalSwitch As New TraceSwitch("General", "Entire Application")

Public Shared Sub MyErrorMethod(myObject As Object)
    ' Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
    If generalSwitch.TraceError Then
        Trace.Write("Invalid object. ")
    End If 
    ' Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
    If generalSwitch.TraceVerbose Then
        Trace.WriteLine(myObject)
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

By default, the output is written to an instance of DefaultTraceListener.

This method calls the WriteLine method of the trace listener.
