Non Blocking Write's To Text File

I have a console application that at any time can have multiple instances of
it running. I want to log information form each of these instances into one
central log file. However, I am concerned that when appending data to the
log file that each instance might lock the log file and block the other
instances until it is finished writing to the file. Is there anything in
System.IO that can help alleviate this issue (i.e not locking the file)? Or
is the basic nature of TextWriter not exhibit this issue.

Thanks

Hi Amy,

You might want to consider using Log4Net, it is a very flexible, open
source logging solution for .NET, based on Log4J.

This is the URL: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/
