To set the AutoFlush and IndentSize for Trace in .NET Framework apps, you can also edit the configuration file that corresponds to the name of your application. The configuration file should be formatted like the following example:

XML
<configuration>  
  <system.diagnostics>  
    <trace autoflush="false" indentsize="3" />  
  </system.diagnostics>  
</configuration>
