Re: Why doesn't trace write timestamp?

I have this in an app.config file:

<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="2">
<listeners>
<add name="myListener" traceOutputOptions="Timestamp"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="C:\TestConsole\MyListener.log"/>
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

The code I'm using to write is this:

Debug.WriteLine("Hello config file.");

I just want to output variable values but also would like a time stamp
appended with every .Write or .WriteLine. First, what is the above
timestamp option doing (this came from intellisense) and how do I get
the behavior I'm looking for?

Having had a little experiment, it looks like this is only used when
you call Trace.TraceError, Trace.TraceInformation or Trace.TraceWarning
- not the Write* methods.
