Parameters

severity

The log message severity.

writeMode

Whether to queue-and-return or wait-for-commit.

exception

An Exception object to attach to this log message.

attributeToException

True if the call stack from where the exception was thrown should be used for log message attribution

category

The category for this log message.

caption

A simple single-line message caption. (Will not be processed for formatting.)

description

Additional multi-line descriptive message (or may be null) which can be a format string followed by corresponding args.

args

A variable number of arguments referenced by the formatted description string (or no arguments to skip formatting).

The log message will be attributed to the caller of this method. Wrapper methods should instead call the WriteMessage() method in order to attribute the log message to their own outer callers.

This overload also allows an Exception object to be attached to the log message. An Exception-typed null (e.g. from a variable of an Exception type) is allowed for the exception argument, but calls which do not have a possible Exception to attach should use an overload without an exception argument rather than pass a direct value of null, to avoid compiler ambiguity over the type of a simple null.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
