Question

I have a WPF app using Enterprise Library.Logging 5, .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile

I used of logging by Database logic. Also add reference to 3 dlls to project.

Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll

I have 1 runtime error when logEntry.Write(log) by this message :

Invalid TraceListenerData type in configuration 'listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database.Configuration.FormattedDatabaseTraceListenerData, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"'

My app.config is:

<loggingConfiguration name="" tracingEnabled="true" defaultCategory="General" logWarningsWhenNoCategoriesMatch="false">

What is my problem?

Solution

The issue is that you are using the Data block (via the Database Trace Listener). This has a dependency on the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle which is a Feature Not Included in the .NET Framework Client Profile.

The workaround is to target .NET Framework 4 instead of the Client Profile.

OTHER TIPS

Changing the target framework to .NET 4 instead of the client profile fixed the issue. All other forums say to add a reference to Logging.Database which is still probably required but none mention the target framework. Thanks.

For me it was simple error - It disappeared when I added the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database.dll to my project.

The above answer's didn't resolve my issue. For me, I created a class lib project just for Enterprise Library logging. I added all appropriate references for the class library project to build, but received the error at runtime when attempting to write to the log database. To fix, I had to add the Ent Lib DLL references to the "calling" application project in Vis Studio, since at runtime it apparently had no clue what the logging configuration was.
