WMI or the System.Management.Instrumentation namespace is my answer to this question.
Exposing the logtraces as a WMI-Event won't give you an automatic popup of your viewer - you'll need to start your own logviewer explicitly. The rest of it is quite easy to implement and the performance oft hese logs look qquite acceptatble. Lookup the BaseEvent-class and the samples on WMI on how to grab events.

I would like to create a trace console for my assemblies. Example: I write 2 exe's and both use my generic trace class, I would like to pop up a console app that takes a peek at what those other 2 applications are doing while they are running. Is this possible? Was I vague enough :) CJ You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
