Changes the output format used to write to a specific output device. The format of this string behaves just like EventData.ToString(). The string can contain any public field or property available for the CSharpTest.Net.Logging.EventData class surrounded by braces {} and yes, properties/fields are case sensative. The input string should look something like the following examples: "[{ManagedThreadId:D2}] {Level,8} - {Message}{Location}{Exception}" -- this is the default format of ToString() "{EventTime:o} [{ProcessId:D4},{ManagedThreadId:D2}] {Level,8} - {Message}{Location}{Exception}" -- This is the default log file format.
