Miguel,

The application terminates with an unhandled exception:

I agree that traceOutputOption is not that well documented. You really can't
guess that this option is available on an <add > element within a
<sharedListeners > element. The option is clearly missing in Microsoft's
reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229126(VS.90).aspx.
The only reason I guessed that traceOutputOptions is valid on <add > within
<sharedListeners > is that Visual Studio's XML schema for <system.diagnostics>
defines it, and thus it pops up in Intellisense.

However, the option is documented for the <add > element inside a <listeners >
element: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229209(VS.90).aspx. The
values accepted for traceOutputOptions appear to be the string literals
corresponding to the values of the enumeration TraceOption. The documentation
for TraceOption even shows the use of traceOutputOptions:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a10k7w6c(VS.90).aspx


I hope this helps, and sorry for the late response.

/Lars
