best way to log exceptions

[Josema]

Hi,

I have a class called Loger that has only a static method:

public class Logger
{
public static void LogException (Exception e)
{
//code to write the exception into a text file...
}
}

I have, for other hand a group of classes that does some operations and i
would like to log every exception inside each class.

Its a good way to call this static method every time the code execute a
catch statement?

for instance:

try
{
//do something
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Logger.LogException(e);
}

What do you think about it?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

It's simple and useful way, I do it in more than one project , you could
select to either write it to a file ( as you do ) or to an Event Log .

Also take a look into the Exception app block from MS:

I personally think the MS app blocks are junk. There is just too much code
in there and it can't all be useful. Most times the easy and transparent
approach is best. If you can achieve in one or two lines what someone else
has done in 10000 lines, consider the possiblity that your way is best.
