Hi,

To create your own Logfile...

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Web.UI;



public static class Logger

{

private static readonly Page Pge = new Page();

        private static readonly string Path = Pge.Server.MapPath("~/yourLogPath/Log.txt");

        private const string LineBreaker = "\r\n\r======================================================================================= \r\n\r";



public static void LogError(string myMessage, Exception e)

{

    const LogSeverity severity = LogSeverity.Error;

    string messageToWrite = string.Format("{0} {1}: {2} \r\n\r {3}\r\n\r {4}{5}", DateTime.Now, severity, myMessage, e.Message, e.StackTrace, LineBreaker);

    System.IO.File.AppendAllText(Path, messageToWrite);

}

}

Thanks

Hi,
You can have a text file in your project and then you can write dynamic code in Application_Error function of global.asax.So any error at any page happens anytime will go to this section and written to text file.

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Exception ex = new Exception();
ex = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();

System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(Server.MapPath("~/error.txt"), System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate, System.IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite);
System.IO.StreamWriter s = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fs);
s.BaseStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.End);
s.WriteLine("MESSAGE: " + ex.Message + "\nSOURCE: " + ex.Source + "\nFORM: " + Request.Form.ToString() + "\nQUERYSTRING: " + Request.QueryString.ToString() + "\nTARGETSITE: " + ex.TargetSite.ToString() + "\nSTACKTRACE: " + ex.StackTrace + System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error);
s.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------------");
s.Close();
}
Hope this will help you.

Thanks,
Sanjay
