Placing and using WPP Software Tracing in WDM drivers is easy, mainly
because the WDK documentation is remarkablely detailed and clear.

From reading the WDK documentation, I understand that a Trace Provider
can be a user mode application too, not necesarily a driver.

I would like to use WPP to analyze an application that was built using
Visual C++ 2005.

How do I do that? Where do I find information about this?

Any tip or pointer to proper documentation would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

Don,

Look up Event Tracing for Windows in the SDK. There is a lot of
documentation, and samples.

LOL - I should have known that this has a different name in user mode
context. Thanks to your tip I was able to find a lot of good
information by mere googling:

This is in addition to the usually excellent MSDN/SDK documentation,
of course.

Thanks,
