Re: Trace Listeners Filtering does not restict output.

I debugged it through.

It seems in EntLib41Src\Blocks\Logging\Src\Logging\LogSource.cs at

listener.TraceData(manager, Name, eventType, id, logEntry);

That the lister object has its Filter property set to the value Information and that the Destination (TraceListener) Filter attribute (whatever value it has) - it has no ramification.

I don't know whether it is intended so, .... it might be a bug.

Trace Listeners Filtering does not restict output.

I have a JobEntry with Severity=Infomation, and in my configurtion file the relevant CategorySource has its SwitchValue=Infomation, but with the Destination (the categories TraceListener) has its Filter=Warning.

Why do i get the trace output?

You see, I would think that the TraceListener with Filter=Warning, which does not include Information Events, would restrict the output.

When doesn't it?

In what scenario would hte Filter attribute on the TraceListener, restrict output?

Thanks, Paul
