This articles was originally at wiki.asp.net but has now been given a new home on CodeProject. Editing rights for this article has been set at Bronze or above, so please go in and edit and update this article to keep it fresh and relevant.

In this article i am going to use simple class which use to write error and exceptions occured in your asp.net application in a text file format.

Below i have created a class Common in which there is function WriteToEventLog which accepts Exception as parameter.

public class  Common

{

public static void WriteToEventLog(Exception exception)
{
string sPath = “~/error/” + DateTime.Today.ToString(”dd-mm-yy”) + “.txt”;
if (!File.Exists(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(sPath)))
{
File.Create(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(sPath)).Close();
}

StreamWriter objStreamWriter = File.AppendText(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(sPath));
{
objStreamWriter.WriteLine(”\r\nLog Entry : “);
objStreamWriter.WriteLine(”{0}”, DateTime.Now.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
string sError = “Error in: ” + System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString() +
“. Error Message:\n” + exception.Message;
objStreamWriter.WriteLine(sError);
objStreamWriter.WriteLine(”__________________________”);
objStreamWriter.Flush();
objStreamWriter.Close();
}
}

}

Now our class is ready you only need to call in your try catch body as shown below…

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
if (User.HasUserLoggedIn())
{

UpdateTotal();
}
else
{
Response.Redirect(”~/pages/MessagePage.aspx?ConfigValue=MsgUserNotLoggedIn”, false);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Common.WriteToEventLog(ex);
}
}
