Logging

[=?Utf-8?B?Q2hyaXN0aWFuIEhhdmVs?=]

Hi,

I am using C# 2.0. Exists any .NET build-in feature for logging or any good
freeware tool?

I´m not en expert but this is what I do....

eventlog it good, but for some reason I like th old writing to a
logfile, just a plain textfile, but before that is done, check if u
could use ms excel to proces it... format date/time correct, could be
useful if the file becomes big...

another solution is adding it to a database but I still like the .txt
approach, easy to mail, easy to process...

open a streamwriter and... write @"c:\slask.txt" ;)

I agree that using plaintext log files is good - but using a framework
like log4net gives a much more versatile solution while still
producing a plaintext output (as one option). It will handle rollover,
threading etc for you - manually opening StreamWriters will force you
to implement all that yourself.

Would log4Net work on .Net 3.0 ?

Yes.

In addition to what already has been said here I would like to
mention NLog.

NLog is an external logging framework like Log4Net. In my
opinion it is more easy to use.

Will look at log4net, used log4j in Java. worked great... (easy to
configure about how much to log) but still produced a good old
textfile in the end ... just like I like it...
