How can I implement real-time logging in C#?

How can I implement real-time logging in C#?

You can use libraries like Serilog or NLog for real-time logging in C#. They allow you to log events as they happen.

Can you show me a simple example using Serilog?

Sure! First, install the Serilog package via NuGet. Then, you can set it up like this:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.Console()
    .CreateLogger();

Log.Information("This is a real-time log message.");

How do I configure it to log to a file instead?

You can configure Serilog to log to a file by adding the WriteTo.File method:

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.File("logs/log.txt")
    .CreateLogger();

What about logging exceptions?

You can log exceptions using the Log.Error method. For example:

try {
    // Your code here
} catch (Exception ex) {
    Log.Error(ex, "An error occurred.");
}
