Error in "loggingConfiguration" by EnterpriseLibrary.Logging

Question

I have a WPF app using Enterprise Library.Logging 5, .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile

I used of logging by Database logic. Also add reference to 3 dlls to project.

Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll

I have 1 runtime error when logEntry.Write(log) by this message :

Invalid TraceListenerData type in configuration 'listenerDataType="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database.Configuration.FormattedDatabaseTraceListenerData, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Database, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"'

My app.config is:

What is my problem?

Answer 1

The issue is that you are using the Data block (via the Database Trace Listener). This has a dependency on the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle which is a Feature Not Included in the .NET Framework Client Profile.

The workaround is to target .NET Framework 4 instead of the Client Profile.
