Clearing the log associated with a tracelistener after each run?

Question
I'm using TextWriterTraceListener for logging, which is being configured into the app using app.config as shown below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true" indentsize="100" >
<listeners>
<add name="myListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="MyLog.log" />
<remove name="Default" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
How do I ensure that the logging starts afresh (clearing the previous contents) after each run, rather than appending to the contents to the existing log ?
Solution
The best way would be to derive your own Custom TraceListener from the TextWriterTraceListener
class. Here's a sample that rolls a new log file at every interval. You should be able to modify this implementation.
