I'm not sure if this is possible in the manner I am envisioning or not so I'm hoping someone can help me wrap my head around this.
I'm wanting to inject a TraceListener into a running process - kind of. I don't actually care how I attach to the process, but the end goal is to listen to the trace output of the running process and dump it out to a console window.
I can attach to the process okay, and I can write a TraceListener okay... where I'm coming unstuck is the bit in the middle. Anyone got any clue if this can be done? If so, can you give me a push in the right direction because I can't see the forest for the trees here.
Maybe I'm trying to approach this in the wrong way?
I don't think this is practical. It would be easy to create a listener at runtime, but that is something the App has to do, it involves adding something to a list.
You may want to make sure the Default listener isn't removed and use an OutputDebug tool to listen in.
Would DbgView from Sysinternals be enough for your needs? It will show you the trace messages of all running processes without having you to configure a trace listener prior to starting the process.
