TraceSettings Class

Configures the ASP.NET trace functionality and controls how trace results are gathered, stored, and displayed.

Syntax

class TraceSettings : EmbeddedObject

This class contains no methods.

The following table lists the properties exposed by the TraceSettings class.

Name	Description
`AutoFlush`	A read/write `boolean` value. `true` if the trace listeners automatically flush the output buffer after every write operation; otherwise, `false`. The default is `false`. Note: When the `AutoFlush` property is set to `true`, the trace listener writes to the file regardless of whether the System.Diagnostics.Trace.Flush method is called.
`IndentSize`	A read/write `sint32` value that specifies the number of spaces to indent when the System.Diagnostics.Trace.Indent method is called. The default is 4. Note: A System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener interprets this number as spaces. An EventLogTraceListener ignores this value. This property is stored on per-thread, per-request basis.
`Listeners`	A TraceListenerSettings value that contains listeners that monitor and format trace output.
`UseGlobalLock`	A read/write `boolean` value. `true` if the global lock will be used; otherwise, `false`. The default is `true`. Note: The global lock is always used if the trace listener is not thread safe, regardless of the value of `UseGlobalLock`. The System.Diagnostics.TraceListener.IsThreadSafe property determines whether the listener is thread safe. The global lock is not used only if the value of `UseGlobalLock` is `false` and the value of `IsThreadSafe` is `true`. The default behavior is to use the global lock.

This class contains no subclasses.

Instances of this class are contained in the Trace property of the SystemDiagnosticsSection class.
