Writing Text File with C#
Problem definition : I need to write this for logging for testing purpose. I am logging the information when a aspx file is being called,
I want to put all information like browser, os, resolution, referer page etc.
So here we goes
I like to add a method let it call LogToFile()
Don't forget to include #using System.IO; as we are going to use stream writer
protected void LogToFile()
{
string logFilePath = Server.MapPath("Trace.txt");
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(logFilePath, true);
//true means if file not there then create it otherwise append to it.
try
{
sw.WriteLine("Logging Time: " + DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString());
sw.WriteLine("OS/Browser/Version : "+Request.Browser.Platform.ToString()+"/" +Request.Browser.Browser.ToString()+ “/"+Request.Browser.Version.ToString());
if (Request.UrlReferrer != null)
{
sw.WriteLine("Referrer: "+ Request.UrlReferrer.ToString());
}
sw.WriteLine("User Agent: " + Request.UserAgent.ToString());
sw.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------------");
}
catch(Exception )
{
}
finally
{
if (sw != null)
{
sw.Close();
}
}
}
Now call this function into pageload method of your page... you will get the trace.
You can add more properties/ information according to your needs.
