As part of my .Net training today I have learnt about using the Event logs, setting our own performance counters and using the trace class and TraceSwitch.

What I want to know is what is best practice or where can I read up on best practice for using these system facilities.

IE.
1. Should I just log application run and stop in the application log or should I log other information?
2. Should I build in standard performance counters into my framework or just use them when trying to trace a performance issue?
3. Should I build a full trace log into my framework and have a global setting to activate/deactivate?

any info greatly appreciated.

Gary.
