SMO Trace and the use of template files (*.tdf)

Hi Micorsoft,

I was just wondering if there are any plans to provide the ability to start a trace without a template file.

At the moment I have to dynamically create a template file (which is binary by the way) in order to allow a user to set filter options.

It will be nice for SMO to provide a better way to interface to these options. (XML file, SMO Class properties ...)

Let me know if there are any plans to do this down the track, as it affects my overall design of my application which is currently based on SMO trace technology.

Thanks,

Jim K.
