semaphore in asp.net web application

Rai Pawan asked:

Open original thread
Hi everyone

we are writing logs to a .txt file for a web application, using our own class. What the class does is create a semaphore with maximum maximum no. of current entries as 1. we use this semaphore to gain write access to the log file. like this....

C#
private static Semaphore _ExceptionFileLock = new Semaphore(1, 1);


C#
try
{
  // Take Hold of File Lock
  _ExceptionFileLock.WaitOne();

  ......
  Open the file strea, write, and close....
  ......
}
catch (Exception objException)
{
  // Other Exception
  throw objException;
}
finally
{
  //Release File Lock
  _ExceptionFileLock.Release();
}


Now what I'd like to know is once we publish it on IIS and multiple users hit this application, will IIS create a global semaphore for this or for different requests will IIS create different semaphore objects resulting in exception "file is alrady in use"

Any light on semaphore with reference to IIS will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards
Pawan
