Yes it can. Such CAs can't write to the log.

Hey John,
What might be an approach to build up a collection of strings based on user input here?
A CA scheduled from the button push of a dialog control cant set properties. I don't know how many sets of host/port I will get from the user in this case, so I was hoping to accumulate them and then write them out myself however accumulating them seems to the trick, not writing them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
