What happened to HttpConfiguration.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing

Question

I am using the new WebTools 2012.2, and the help files says to add config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing to your Global.asax.

However, this method doesnt exist on HttpConfiguration.

Answer 1

The EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing extension is part of the Tracing package. Do you have the Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Tracing package installed?

Also make sure to have the using System.Web.Http; namespace.

Answer 2

Documentation: link

To install use:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Tracing Update-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost

After that check the following in your project:

1. Add dll-file \packages\Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Tracing.5.2.2\lib\net45\System.Web.Http.Tracing.dll to your project.
2. Add the following to WebApiConfig.cs using System.Web.Http; using System.Web.Http.Tracing;

And

//tracing config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing();
