type TraceAppender =  
    class
        inherit AppenderSkeleton
    end

The TraceAppender type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	TraceAppender	Initializes a new instance of the TraceAppender.
	TraceAppender(ILayout)	Obsolete. Initializes a new instance of the TraceAppender with a specified layout.

	Name	Description
	Category	The category parameter sent to the Trace method.
	ErrorHandler	Gets or sets the IErrorHandler for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	FilterHead	The filter chain. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	ImmediateFlush	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the appender will flush at the end of each write.
	Layout	Gets or sets the ILayout for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Name	Gets or sets the name of this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RequiresLayout	This appender requires a log4net.Layout to be set. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonRequiresLayout.)
	Threshold	Gets or sets the threshold Level of this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)

	Name	Description
	ActivateOptions	Initialize the appender based on the options set (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	AddFilter	Adds a filter to the end of the filter chain. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Append(LoggingEvent)	Append a bulk array of logging events. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Append(LoggingEvent)	Writes the logging event to the Trace system. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonAppend(LoggingEvent).)
	ClearFilters	Clears the filter list for this appender. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Close	Closes the appender and release resources. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	DoAppend(LoggingEvent)	Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific [M:Append(LoggingEvent)] method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	DoAppend(LoggingEvent)	Performs threshold checks and invokes filters before delegating actual logging to the subclasses specific [M:Append(LoggingEvent[])] method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	FilterEvent	Test if the logging event should we output by this appender (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Finalize	Finalizes this appender by calling the implementation's Close method. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	Flush	Flushes any buffered log data. (Overrides AppenderSkeletonFlush(Int32).)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsAsSevereAsThreshold	Checks if the message level is below this appender's threshold. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnClose	Is called when the appender is closed. Derived classes should override this method if resources need to be released. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	PreAppendCheck	Called before [M:Append(LoggingEvent)] as a precondition. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RenderLoggingEvent(LoggingEvent)	Renders the LoggingEvent to a string. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	RenderLoggingEvent(TextWriter, LoggingEvent)	Renders the LoggingEvent to a string. (Inherited from AppenderSkeleton.)
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

The application configuration file can be used to control what listeners are actually used. See the MSDN documentation for the Trace class for details on configuring the trace system.

Events are written using the System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write(string,string) method. The event's logger name is the default value for the category parameter of the Write method.

Compact Framework
The Compact Framework does not support the Trace class for any operation except Assert. When using the Compact Framework this appender will write to the Debug system rather than the Trace system. This appender will therefore behave like the DebugAppender.
