Hi all,

I have this error :
Message: "The configuration section for Logging cannot be found in the
configuration source."
Source: "Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging "

I've added in the
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Conf iguration.Design.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHan dling.Logging.dl
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHan dling.Logging.Configuration.Design.dll

What is the meaning of "configuration source" ?
Thanks

regards,
Andrew

Hi,


The meaning is that at least a class inside
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging namespace is expecting a
section in the config file it would use to jold configration settings.
You neeed to check the help or some samples to see how that section is
configured

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

In my app.config file, I have:

<loggingConfiguration defaultCategory="Tracing" tracingEnabled="false" >
<logFilters>
<add
name="Category"

type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Loggin g.Filters.CategoryFilter,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
categoryFilterMode="AllowAllExceptDenied">
<categoryFilters />
</add>
<add
name="Priority"

type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Loggin g.Filters.PriorityFilter,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
minimumPriority="0"
/>
</logFilters>
<categorySources>
<add
name="Default Category"
switchValue="All">
<listeners>
<add name="Event Log Destination" />
</listeners>
</add>
<add
name="Tracing"
switchValue="All">
<listeners>
<add name="Flat File Destination" />
</listeners>
</add>
</categorySources>
<specialSources>
<errors name="errors" switchValue="All">
<listeners>
<add name="Event Log Destination"/>
</listeners>
</errors>
</specialSources>
<listeners>
<add name="Event Log Destination"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Loggin g.TraceListeners.FormattedEventLogTraceListener,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLi brary.Logging.Configuration.FormattedEventLogTrace ListenerData,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
source="Enterprise Library Logging"
formatter="Default Formatter"
/>
<add name="Flat File Destination"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Loggin g.TraceListeners.FlatFileTraceListener,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLi brary.Logging.Configuration.FlatFileTraceListenerD ata, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
fileName="C:\Projects\ABC\Output\trace.log"
formatter="Default Formatter"
/>
</listeners>
<formatters>
<add
name="Default Formatter"

type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Loggin g.Formatters.TextFormatter,
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging"
template="Timestamp: {timestamp}
Message: {message}"
/>
</formatters>
</loggingConfiguration>

This should do it right? So why is it still not working ?

Andrew
