Background Thread Error Logging

Solel Software

Hi,

I'm running a long running process on a background thread in an ASP.NET
application and not sure about how to get the path since the
HttpContext.Current object is null. If there is no context, how does one get
the path for the error log?

When you initiated thread, you can always pass the error log path as a
parameter. If your error log path stays the same thorugh out the processing,
this should work.

Hi,

I answered my own question:

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

Naveen,

Thanks for the suggestion. That would definitely work. I found, though,
that using

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory

will return the path for the application folder even when there is no
HttpContext.Current object, so I'm just using that. If I run into problems,
your method may come in handy!
