It's often the case that you want an output of information from an exe on the operation of the thing, especially if your exe is allowed to run without a form being presented to the user. There are a great many methods to do this and there will be patterns designed to allow for logging to a file that allow you to avoid cross cutting concerns (Here's a worthy article). This isn't that, this isn't good practice in any way shape or form but if you just want to escape some information from your assembly here's a dirty little solution taht provides the end point method, actually writing to a log file - maybe this would suit a singleton? here we go though:
/// <summary>
/// Hard coded file location (app.startuppath), takes a string and throws it at the log file (creates if not present)
/// </summary>
/// <param name="_Message"></param>
public static void AppendToLog(string _Message)
{
string path = String.Format(@"{0}\ArgsLog.txt", Application.StartupPath);
using (var tw = new StreamWriter(path, true))
{
tw.WriteLine(_Message);
}
}
