Question

Do you know how to trace all method invocations in an .NET application. My current approach is to write trace at the beginning of each method like this

void DoSomething()
{
   using(new Tracer(TraceCategory)
{
   //Perform all action here

}

}

But it sucks as it clusters my code and I will have to write traces for all of my method.

Would there another way to record when a method is called, and when it finishes? All suggestions would be appreciate.

The only practical option to implement this I know of is to use AOP (like postsharp) – for a nice walkthrough see here.
