Question

I\'m trying to use Entity Framework Tracing Provider to log the SQL staments generated.

I changed my context class to something like this:

public par

After modifying your code, you need to enable tracing in your web.config like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="EntityFramework.NorthwindEntities" switchValue="All" />
    </sources>
  </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

The name of your TraceSource should be your context name prefixed with 'EntityFramework'. Make sure that you disable tracing when you deploy your application to production by setting the switchValue to Off.
