[RESOLVED]ASP.net 2.0 appending to a text file

[computerguy46]

i am trying to append to a log file. i ca create the file and write but the next time it will overwrite the last everything in the file.

Dim sdate As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
Dim stime As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()
Dim TextFile As New StreamWriter("C:\jetpaytool" & Format(sdate, "yyyyMMdd") & ".log")

TextFile.WriteLine(Format(sdate, "yyyyMMdd") & " " & Format(stime, "HH:MM") & " " & "auth release " & GridView1.Rows.Count.ToString & " Rows " & TextBox1.Text & " " & TextBox2.Text & " " & TextBox3.Text)
TextFile.Close()

Moving your thread to the ASP.NET forum from the ASP forum.

You can use System.IO.File.AppendText.

found this link in another post

changed code to this and it works fine

Dim sdate As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()

Dim stime As DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()

Dim objStreamWriter As StreamWriter

objStreamWriter = File.AppendText("C:\jetpaytool" & Format(sdate, "yyyyMMdd") & ".log")

objStreamWriter.WriteLine(Format(sdate, "yyyyMMdd") & " " & Format(stime, "HH:MM") & " " & "auth release " & GridView1.Rows.Count.ToString & " Rows " & TextBox1.Text & " " & TextBox2.Text & " " & TextBox3.Text)

objStreamWriter.Close()

thanks for all of your help
