The default .NET tracing is not bad and it is not difficult to build a
custom Trace Listener . In one project ( with remote clients) I used a
custom email trace listener ( it mails the logs ) + log file . In the
other where I need more detailed searching and categories I use a DB
trace listener that writes to a DB table and we use query analyser -
it's a great view tool and everyone knows how to use it .
MS enterprise blocks IMHO are far to fat for the extra functionality
they give. A good example as you mentioned is the tightly bound
configuration block which is completely different to .net 2.0
Configuration and settings.
