Update on BTS and Ent Lib Logging
Okay, it appears that the re-start of the host, everytime you change the BTSNTSVC.exe.config file is key (one would think thats obvious... isnt that the way almost all of .NET works !!!).
I went back over the stuff step by step, removed the sections i had put into the BTS config file, leaving them in the App Domain config file, taking care to restart the host every time and the logging continued working. Finally it even got to the point where it didnt need the IgnoreSectionHandler line to work. I also found that the mirror log file on disk was being created on C: cos I had forgotten to update the loggingDistributionConfiguration.config file. Changed that to D (my environment needs stuff to be on D:) and it worked fine.
Thanks to Andy Morrison for a useful article. Now to try the data block. oohh..shiver me timbers.. that should prove to be a challenge.
