Hi,
I want to add logging to my addin file. we are using standard loggers, so that you can configure them from the application.exe.config file. Of course we are running inside visual studio, and we don't want the users to have to deal with the devenv.exe.config file.
Is there another way to do it
Is there a config file for the addin dll something like myaddin.dll.config
Is there a way to add logging level to the .addin file
thanks.

Hi Noa,
Carlos is correct. Your addin, could make use of the devenv.exe.config, but we don't really recommend that. The only logging facility currently built into the shell is the IVsActivityLog interface. This is an interface defined in the Visual Studio SDK, and could in theory be used from your addin (You'd need to QI the DTE object for IServiceProvider as described at http://www.mztools.com/articles/2005/MZ004.htm for example). The calls to IVsActivityLog are ignored unless you enable logging via the command line switch /log.
You could also build a custom logger that was enabled/disabled via a custom .config file or registry key.
Sincerely,
Deltaxp
