Try replacing System.Diagnostics.TraceListener in the type attribute with your namespace.

I'm trying to write a TraceListener to log Debug.Write output into a database. I've made a simple class as follows: ----- 8<----- Public Class CustomListener Inherits System.Diagnostics.TraceListener Public Overloads Overrides Sub Write(ByVal Message As String) 'yadda End Sub Public Overloads Overrides Sub WriteLine(ByVal Message As String) 'yadda End Sub End Class ----- >8 ----- And I have added the following to my web.config file: ----- 8< ----- <system.diagnostics> <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="0"> <listeners> <add name="MyCustomListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TraceListener,CustomListener" /> </listeners> </trace> </system.diagnostics> ----- >8 ----- However, I'm getting an error when I try to do a Debug.Write: ----- 8< ----- An exception of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException' occurred in System.dll but was not handled in user code Additional information: Couldn't find type for class System.Diagnostics.TraceListener,CustomListener. ----- >8 ----- Anyone got any ideas? Bit stumped here.
