Create the trace listener class

After you create the client class, you implement the trace listener class. The trace listener derives from the CustomTraceListener class, which exposes methods for writing trace information. To create the trace listener class:

1. In Visual Studio, open the context menu of the ExternalLogging project and click Add » Class

2. Name the class file RaygunTraceListener.cs and click Add.

3. Make the RaygunTraceListenerclass inherit the CustomTraceListenerclass.

4. Define the following constructors and the fields.

   In this section of the code, you define a parameterless constructor chained to a constructor that accepts an ITraceListenerClientparameter. Although this implementation of the RaygunTraceListeneruses the RaygunTraceListenerClientclass that you previously created, you can easily create your own client class and pass it as a parameter in the constructor.

5. Implement the CustomTraceListener methods.
   In the code above, you check the type of the trace data that the TraceDatamethod receives and call the Writemethod. The Write method then sends the information provided by the trace data to the client.
