Using System.Diagnostics

I found the following example on MSDN but
when I try to run it in CF I get a load of
errors:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
Trace.Listeners.Add(new TextWriterTraceListener(Console.Out));
Trace.AutoFlush = true;
Trace.Indent();
Trace.WriteLine("Entering Main");
Console.WriteLine("Hello World.");
Trace.WriteLine("Exiting Main");
Trace.Unindent();
}
}
Typical errors are:

error CS0117: 'System.Diagnostics.Trace' does not contain a definition
for 'AutoFlush


Any ideas what I am missing?

Thanks

You're not missing anything. CF doesn't support the full range of Trace
functions.

OpenNETCF's SDF does implement a TextWriterTraceListener class that I've
used in a few projects, so I know it works.

That would explain it! However, the Version Information on the MSDN page
that offered this code implies that it is available for both full and
compact frameworks v1 and 2.

I'll check that out. What I'm looking for is sample code (or 3rd party
tool) for tracing/profiling smart device apps. Do you know of anything?

Cheers
