How do I make CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting less verbose?

Question

I\'m currently using CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting(\"setting\") to get settings for my application, but it\'s writing logs of everything it\'s checking to the console

Alternative option, if you're calling CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting() in one part (ie, a wrapper/helper class):

var oldListeners = Trace.Listeners.Cast().ToArray();
Trace.Listeners.Clear();

var stringValue = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting(key);
Trace.Listeners.AddRange(oldListeners);

First, we remove all listeners on Trace. Then we grab the setting, and re-add the listeners. Of course, this potentially could cause problems with threaded applications
