Writes information about the trace to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection if a condition is true.

Source:: Trace.cs

Writes a category name and message to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection if a condition is true.

public:
 static void WriteIf(bool condition, System::String ^ message, System::String ^ category);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("TRACE")]
public static void WriteIf (bool condition, string? message, string? category);

[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("TRACE")]
public static void WriteIf (bool condition, string message, string category);

[<System.Diagnostics.Conditional("TRACE")>]
static member WriteIf : bool * string * string -> unit

Public Shared Sub WriteIf (condition As Boolean, message As String, category As String)

Parameters

condition: Boolean

true to cause a message to be written; otherwise, false.

message: String

A message to write.

category: String

A category name used to organize the output.

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 Verbose, 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 Error or higher, the example outputs the second error message 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, String^ category )
   {
      #if defined(TRACE)
      // Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
      Trace::WriteIf( generalSwitch->TraceVerbose,
         String::Concat( myObject, 
         " is not a valid object for category: " ), category );
      
      // Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set
      // to Error or higher.
      Trace::WriteLineIf( generalSwitch->TraceError, 
         " Please use a different category." );
      #endif
   }

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

 static public void MyErrorMethod(Object myObject, string category) {
    // Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
    Trace.WriteIf(generalSwitch.TraceVerbose, myObject.ToString() +
       " is not a valid object for category: ", category);

    // Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
    Trace.WriteLineIf(generalSwitch.TraceError, " Please use a different category.");
 }

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

Public Shared Sub MyErrorMethod(myObject As Object, category As String)
    ' Write the message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Verbose.
    Trace.WriteIf(generalSwitch.TraceVerbose, myObject.ToString() & _
        " is not a valid object for category: ", category)
    
    ' Write a second message if the TraceSwitch level is set to Error or higher.
    Trace.WriteLineIf(generalSwitch.TraceError, _
        " Please use a different category.")
End Sub

Remarks

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

The category parameter can be used to group output messages.

This method calls the Write method of the trace listener.

Notes to Inheritors

You can minimize the performance penalty of instrumenting your application by using If...Then statements instead of using WriteIf(Boolean, String) statements. The following two code examples send the same debugging message. However, the first example is much faster when tracing is off, because if mySwitch.TraceError evaluates to false you do not call Write(String). The second example always calls WriteIf(Boolean, String), even when mySwitch.TraceError is false and no tracing output is produced. This can result in unnecessary execution of arbitrarily complex code.

First example

if(mySwitch.TraceError)   
    Trace.Write("aNumber = " + aNumber + " out of range");

Second example

Trace.WriteIf(mySwitch.TraceError, "aNumber = " + aNumber + " out of range");
