How to log System.Net

In your App.config add the following code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>

    <trace autoflush="true"/>

    <switches>
      <add name="System.Net" value="Verbose" />
    </switches>

    <sources>

      <source name="System.Net">
        <listeners>
          <add name="SystemNetLogFile"/>
        </listeners>
      </source>

    </sources>

    <sharedListeners>
      <add name="SystemNetLogFile" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="d:\system.net.log"/>
    </sharedListeners>

  </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

That’s it!
