Hi Murli, You are writing in Logfile.txt as i think text file doesn't support color formatting. thatswhy i suggested you that reference, in that he is trying to create rtf(rich text formatted) log file. Thanks

Hi Manish, Thanks for the reply. This is my code: LogMessage("Uploaded the file","Success"); Private Void LogMessage(string Message,string SuccessorFailure) { StreamWriter sw; string LogFormat = DateTime .Now.ToLongDateString().ToString() + " " + DateTime .Now.ToLongTimeString().ToString() + " " + " ==> " ; filePath = Path .Combine(filePath, "LogFile.txt" ); if ( File .Exists(filePath)) { sw = File .AppendText(filePath); } else { sw = File .CreateText(filePath); } sw.WriteLine(LogFormat + " " + SuccessOrFailure + " " + Message); sw.WriteLine( "---------------------------------------------------" ); sw.Close(); } By using above function I wrote a message to log file. What I want is, If it is success-- I want to dispaly it in green color, if it is failure--Red. LogMessage("Uploaded the file","Success"); I want to convert the color of Text 'Success' to green. Thanks Murali krishna
