how to save exception in txt file?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
namespace ErrorLoggingSample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
string str = string.Empty;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
throw new Exception("Wrong Data");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrorLogging(ex);
ReadError();
}
}
public static void ErrorLogging(Exception ex)
{
string strPath = @"D:\Rekha\Log.txt";
if (!File.Exists(strPath))
{
File.Create(strPath).Dispose();
}
using (StreamWriter sw = File.AppendText(strPath))
{
sw.WriteLine("=============Error Logging ===========");
sw.WriteLine("===========Start============= " + DateTime.Now);
sw.WriteLine("Error Message: " + ex.Message);
sw.WriteLine("Stack Trace: " + ex.StackTrace);
sw.WriteLine("===========End============= " + DateTime.Now);
}
}
public static void ReadError()
{
string strPath = @"D:\Rekha\Log.txt";
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(strPath))
{
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(line);
}
}
}
}
}
Since you want to save the exception to C:\Error.txt
, you don't need Directory.Exists
, Directory.CreateDirectory
, or Server.MapPath("~/Error.txt")
. You can simply use StreamWriter like this:
string filePath = @"C:\Error.txt";
Exception ex = ...
using( StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter( filePath, true ) )
{
writer.WriteLine( "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------" );
writer.WriteLine( "Date : " + DateTime.Now.ToString() );
writer.WriteLine();
while( ex != null )
{
writer.WriteLine( ex.GetType().FullName );
writer.WriteLine( "Message : " + ex.Message );
writer.WriteLine( "StackTrace : " + ex.StackTrace );
ex = ex.InnerException;
}
}
The above code will create C:\Error.txt
if it doesn't exist, or append C:\Error.txt
if it already exists.
I use that one
catch (Exception e)
{
new MessageWriteToFile(e).WriteToFile();
}
public class MessageWriteToFile
{
private const string Directory = "C:\\AppLogs";
public string Message { get; set; }
public Exception Exception { get; set; }
public string DefaultPath
{
get
{
var appName = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;
var folder = $"{Directory}\\{appName}";
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(folder))
{
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
}
var fileName = $"{DateTime.Today:yyyy-MM-dd}.txt";
return $"{Directory}\\{appName}\\{fileName}";
}
}
public MessageWriteToFile(string message)
{
Message = message;
}
public MessageWriteToFile(Exception ex)
{
Exception = ex;
}
public bool WriteToFile(string path = "")
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
{
path = DefaultPath;
}
try
{
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(path, true))
{
writer.WriteLine("-----------------------------------------------------------------------------");
writer.WriteLine("Date : " + DateTime.Now.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
writer.WriteLine();
if (Exception != null)
{
writer.WriteLine(Exception.GetType().FullName);
writer.WriteLine("Source : " + Exception.Source);
writer.WriteLine("Message : " + Exception.Message);
writer.WriteLine("StackTrace : " + Exception.StackTrace);
writer.WriteLine("InnerException : " + Exception.InnerException?.Message);
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Message))
{
writer.WriteLine(Message);
}
writer.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
