Great solution, but I have a situation where I have different dll's being run by the same calling exe, so I don't want to modify the calling exe's .config file. I want each dll to handle it's own alteration of the trace output.

var textListener = new TextWriterTraceListener (outResultsFile);
Trace.Listeners.Add (textListener);

This will, of course, output Trace output to the "output.txt" file.
