Re: Logging from a .dll

I see.

But my logging method (which just uses the Trace class) is in the .exe

So how would I write log entry from the .dll using a method in the .exe?

I mean the assembly the contains the log component. For example, whether it be log4net, or System.Diagnostics, or something else. I was just being generic and not assuming that you were using the framework classes for your logging.

The same way you did it in the EXE, just make sure to be referencing the correct log assembly and namespace(s) in your DLL.

What do you mean by "log assembly" ?

I have a .exe that calls a .dll

I want to write log messages at various parts of the process in the .exe and .dll to a common trace/log file.

I set up a method in the .exe to write to the trace file, but to append basic information like DateTime.Now to each log entry.

How can I get my .dll to write to that same log file?
