Remarks
Note
Removing the DefaultTraceListener from the Listeners collection alters the behavior of the System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert, System.Diagnostics.Trace.Assert, System.Diagnostics.Debug.Fail, and System.Diagnostics.Trace.Fail methods. Calling an Assert or Fail method normally results in the display of a message box, however the message box is not displayed if the DefaultTraceListener is not in the Listeners collection.
Example
The following example shows how to remove the default trace listener from the trace Listeners collection.
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="0">
<listeners>
<remove name="Default" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
