Error Logging in Multi Thread App

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a C# WPF application that I am writing that uses multithreading. What is the recommended method for logging errors? Do you have each thread report errors back to the main form for processing? Or have each thread log the errors to the DB or file itself? I am just looking for a little insight and couldn't find much on the subject elsewhere.

Thanks,
Scott

If you like log file you can create one stream and protect it with mutex. At least that is the way I do it under Linux.

I would just log it in the application log (part of Windows). You can identify the thread if you take steps to provide identification functionality in the thread itself so that the thread can identify itself when it makes the log entry.
