ASP.NET Web API log of update (PUT)

0.00/5 (No votes)

Hey guys, I want to do a log entry every time the update (PUT) method on an ASP.NET Web API is called, and I want that log to be saved on a DB table with the following columns:

- user (who changed something)
- dateTime (date and time the change was done)
- changes (what was before and what is now)

What is the best way to do this?

Have the update query in stored procedure and after it passes, update the table with log data. Alternatively, have update in a method returning boolean and depending on the result, log success or fail. Note that you should take care of transaction if it is important to log each update.
