Thread based Error / Event Logging

2 New Member

Okay, I have NO idea if this is possible (or a good idea) but I am getting REALLY annoyed...

So I wrote this error logging class, to specs. It takes 3 objects as parameters, one for the exception, one for System.Relefect ion.MethodBase. GetCurrentMetho d(), and one for a Sql Data object (Data Adapter, Table Adapter, or SQL Command)... spawns a thread, saves info to a DB or dumps a strongly typed dataset to xml...

no worries.

BUT

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 try

{

     ///Do Stuff....

}

catch (Exception Ex)

{

     ErrorLogging.LogError(Ex, System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(), null);
 
}

This is a PITA, not to mention, difficult to change if something should change somewhere.

Is it possible to have some object watching a thread, suck in the relevant information (using Reflection, similar to how I am doing it now) and spawn a child/worker thread to do this? Then it just happens no matter where the exception is?

This would be a life saver (as well as helping migrate other apps to use this type of error logging). I would like to use it to prevent the app from job closing too if possible. If it traps an error, it should try to gracefully quit what it was doing and move on (button click, throws an error, it just discards what it was doing and ends the event)?

Hi,

Just out of interest, have you not considered using a logging framework, something like log4net, or my personal favourite, NLog. They are both free and make life much easier - they help with the whole PITA thing. . .

I am looking into it actually. It needs to do more than just log the Ex though. We have a local DB (offline application) that we want to store things to and/or write to XML. Do some other things if possible.

Do you know of any frameworks that support those types of things?

Are you developing a web application?
If so, the Global.asax allows you to implement the Application_Err or method. This is called whenever an exception is not caught in the application.

thread pooling and short lived threads

by: AlexeiOst | last post by:

Everywhere in documentation there are recommendations to use threads from thread pooling for relatively short tasks. As I understand, fetching a page or multiple pages (sometimes up to 50 but not tipical) from the Internet and doing some processing on those would be considered to be a big/long task for a thread from a pool. In our app it is possible to break the task into some small ones (thread per fetch and processing thereafter or event...

Thread just stops running

by: mareal | last post by:

I have noticed how the thread I created just stops running. I have added several exceptions to the thread System.Threading.SynchronizationLockException System.Threading.ThreadAbortException System.Threading.ThreadInterruptedException System.Threading.ThreadStateException to see if I could get more information about why the thread stops running but that code is never executed. Any ideas on how I can debug this?

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
