Something every SharePoint developer asks for and here it is how you log to ULS from your code in SharePoint 2010. Below is a console app:

You need to add reference to Microsoft.SharePoint.dll. Very simple!

And here is our log from ULS Viewer:

The code uses the following classes:

1) SPDiagnosticsCategory

2) SPDiagnosticsService

P.S: I will update when I find out how to add a Correlation ID associated with the log entry.

So I just started with this and the console app works like a charm.. however when I try to write in my App - I don't receive any errors, but it never writes!

SPDiagnosticsCategory spdiagcat = new SPDiagnosticsCategory("Hello ULS", TraceSeverity.Verbose, EventSeverity.Verbose);
SPDiagnosticsService diagSvc = SPDiagnosticsService.Local;
diagSvc.WriteTrace(100, spdiagcat, TraceSeverity.Monitorable, "Writing to the ULS log is not happening...", null);
