You have declared Exception to be a namespace in your project.
Now when you try and use it in your exception handler i.e. (Exception ex), you will run into a problem. This is assumed to be a namespace by the compiler.

Try this instead -

C#

namespace Exception
{
    public class Class1
    {
        public static void logger(System.Exception ex) //getting error here
        {


        }
    }
}
