The following code example opens the log.txt file for input, or creates the file if it does not already exist, and appends information to the end of the file. The contents of the file are then written to standard output for display.

What i'd like to have happen, if there is an exception is have it log that exception to a text file. I have: Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) My.Application.Log.WriteException(ex, TraceEventType.Error, "Exception " & "with argument " & "C:\Log.txt" & ".") End Try But it's not sending the exception to the logfile. What am I missing? vb.net try-catch http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24017860/how-to-log-catch-exception-to-a-text-file share|improve this question asked Jun 3 '14 at 14:30 Shmewnix 44371739 1 While not an answer to your question, you should look into Elmah for error logging. asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/deployment/… –MiniRagnarok Jun 3 '14 at 14:32 i wouldn't know. i wrote my own logging class. also, you could be missing this: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yhx0xwks.aspx –porkchop Jun 3 '14 at 14:34 you probably do not have access to write to "C:\" change to a temp folder or a Users folder –Plutonix Jun 3 '14 at 16:04 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote I think the example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dsxzceby(v=vs.90).aspx might have mislead you a bit. I find it a bit odd. I think this is probably better: Public Sub SomeMethodWhichMightGenerateException(byval someArg as String) Try ' Code that might generate an exception goes here. ' For example: ' Dim x As Object ' MsgBox(x.ToString) Catch ex As Exception My.Application.Log.WriteException(ex, _ TraceEventType.Error, _ "Exception with argument " & someArg & ".") End Try End Sub fileName is just a random variable in the msdn example and nothing to to do with where the Exception is logged... Look here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7fx0fexe(v=vs.90).aspx to see where My.Application.Log.WriteException writes data to. Alternatively you could do so
i create a log file on vb.net, what libraries should i need for this to work,. thanks create file log vb.net jbutardo -2 74 posts since Jan 2012 Community Member 2Contributors 10Replies 29Views 4 YearsDiscussion Span 4 Years Ago Last Post by jbutardo 0 Reverend Jim https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/405719/how-to-create-log-reports-in-vb-net 1,311 4 Years Ago If you just want a simple text file then you only require simple text output (make sure you open the log file in append mode). I have a suggestion that should be obvious but wasn't to some http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Create-simple-Error-Log-Text-File-in-ASPNet-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx of our in-house developers. Make sure every line that you write to the log file begins with the date and time in the format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS Where all fields are zero padded (eg use 03 for March instead how to of just 3) and the time is in 24 hour format. It makes it much easier to correlate events when you are troubleshooting and looking at logs from other apps (or system). One developer in particular would write out the date and time once in long format, then spew out 50-60 lines of information. It was difficult trying to find the start of each block and impossible to determine exactly when each piece of the block was generated. And trying to compare "September how to create 12, 2007 9:53:17 PM" from his log to "2007-09-12 21:53:17" in another was not pleasant. 0 Discussion Starter jbutardo -2 4 Years Ago If you just want a simple text file then you only require simple text output (make sure you open the log file in append mode).
