I am using VB.NET 2005.
My application has a main program and a thread called myThread.
I need to write to a log file in both the main program and the thread, so I
open a file called swLog in the main program and pass along swLog to the
thread.
In order for the application to write to the physical file, in the main
program I have a timer TimerFile with Interval 60000 (1 menit). Every time
the timer kicks in, I close the file and open it again. Then, I will pass
swLog to the Thread again.
Every now and then I will get an error in the swLog.Write method.
At first I will get the error "Count cannot be less than zero."
Then, I will get the error "Value cannot be null. Parameter name:
destination"
Then, at the sub CloseFile in the main program I will get the error "Index
and count must refer to a location within the buffer."
What causes the above errors and is there a better way to do what I need to
do ?
I would like to avoid opening and closing the file everytime I write to it,
that's why I keep the swLog file open to be written and write it every 1
minute.
Thank you very much.
