Hi All,
I want to make a LogFile class that is thread safe. I use a Mutex for it.
But the behavior of the class is not that normal.
In a c# guide I read you can achieve it by simply using Mutex.Waitone and
Mutex.ReleaseMu tex. Is that right?
What 's wrong with my sub Writelog then?
Best regards,

Before you go writing something complex, is there a good reason not to
use something like log4net ( http://logging.apache.org/log4net/)
instead? It much easier than ms's logging solution, and is safe in
every way you could want.

If there are other methods using the log, then wrap those using the same

Hi,
Thanks for the answers.
yes I can use a framework for it. But for this case I prefer to use my own
class. I want to know what I am doing wrong.
I know the the existense of synclock.
Using synclock the way you described it seems not to work ( error on lin:
fsOut = New System.IO.FileS tream(_LogFile, System.IO.FileM ode.Append)

Well, if it's really got yer goat I think you could just look at the
source code for log4net?
I always thought that the mutexs = synclock essentially, but here is
some extra locking documentation : http://everything2.com/index.pl?node...&lastnode_id=0
And please post at least some error message. I am not sure you are
actually trying to get help when you just say "it breaks". Please post
some actual error information if you want help debugging.
