Webform Log file

[Guest]

I created a class to log application event in my webform.
This "Logs" class contains only one static method :

static void WriteLog(string mess)
{
StreamWriter log
log = File.AppendText("file.log");
log.WriteLine(mess);
log.Flush();
log.Close();
}

Logs.WriteLog() is called in the codebehing of my WebForm

Several WebForm can call simultaneously the WriteLog method.
What appends if several people call my Webform at the same time ?
deadlock or Exception ? Or others problems ?

Is it necessary to had a lock(this) around my WriteLog code ?

Thanks

The .NET framework has this functionality built in "almost". You might want
to look at extending the TraceListener class to log this information to a
file. It is fully thread safe, I think.

Here is a link to Microsoft's site about using the TextWriterTraceListener
class.
