OK I know how to create a custom listener on the trace object that allow me
to insert trace code
BUT I want to hook the underlying system calls when doing an http or ftp
transfer
(i think ths is system.net name space)
yes I know I can do it via the config systemdiagnostics but I want to create
a runtime
custom trace listener that

This a simple custom tracelistener attached to the trace object
oTrace = New my.ProfileTraceListener
Trace.Listeners.Clear() 'remove all other trace listeners
Trace.Listeners.Add(oTrace)
Trace.AutoFlush = True
'System.Net.HttpListener

This does not work ???? I thought yoiu create anew tracesource referenced
from, the system.net name space
but nope that not it ????
how do i attach my custom listener to system.net or any other dot net
system.* name space
Dim appTrace As New System.Diagnostics.TraceSource("System.Net",
SourceLevels.All)
appTrace.Listeners.Clear() 'remove all other trace listeners
appTrace.Listeners.Add(oTrace)
For i = 0 To appTrace.Attributes.Count
Debug.Print(appTrace.Attributes(i))
