Open the log gile to read while it is in use

Question

Hi All I have implemented log functionality in my application which keeps track of all the user activities from the moment the application starts and till user exits the application. In My Application I create an instance of StreamWriter when the application begins and closing Stream Writer when the application exits. My questions is when my application is running  I want to be able to go to the log file ( \program files\MyApplication\log.txt) and check the log contents. When I try to pen the log file it throws an error An error occured. The document could not be opened. How can I view the log file and see the contents when the application is running and writing to the log file? =============================================================== StreamWriter SW; //global variable private void StartLogger() { string fPath =  \Program Files\My App\log.txt; SW = File.CreateText(fPath ); //Write in to log file LogEntry(logfile created); } private void LogEntry(string entry) { SW.WriteLine(entry + 
); SW.Flush(); } Thanks Ram

Hi Friend  Use Write() Function Like Below One  if you want to Access the File Frequently you shoud close Stream Writer after Every Writing like below Function . dont forget to mark  do you like answe r please it will give me some credits :) public void WriteLog( string s) { string LogFilePath = Directory.GetParent( Application .ExecutablePath).ToString() + @\Log.txt ; StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(LogFilePath true ); sw.WriteLine(s); sw.Close(); }
