Updated (6/17/2004 @ 8:46p): The constructor should be static, not private. :-)


On one of my projects, I didn’t really want to use Log4Net and I certainly didn’t want to log to the Event Log, so I looked into using a TraceListener.

Multiple versions of the CLR (Platform vs Library versioning in Longhorn/Orca)

From .NET Undocumented:


“The CLR, of course, will be a machine-wide platform assembly. In a break from the present scheme, Longhorn will no longer support multiple CLRs. Every managed application will be forced to use the latest version of the CLR on the system.”


Not sure what to think about this, other than it sounds like this will become a major PITA.

Useful for your next meeting with management
