Logging Exception to a text file when catch(Exception e)

catch (Exception e)
            {
                StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
                sb2.Append("Exception Date/Time: " + DateTime.Now);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append("Exception Message: " + e.Message);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append("Stack Trace:" + e.StackTrace);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append("Inner Exception:" + e.InnerException);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append(System.Environment.NewLine);
                sb2.Append("Data:" + e.Data);
 
                using (StreamWriter sw = File.AppendText("ErrorLog.txt"))
                {
                    sw.Write(sb2.ToString());
                    sw.Close();
                }

Of course you can expand this to catch different exceptions.

You could also write to the Event Log, but unless you area  system admin or have access to event logs you are SOL..

What does Dim stand for and what is the history --- Thank you Stack Trace

Dim originally (in BASIC) stood for Dimension, as it was used to define the dimensions of an array.

(The original implementation of BASIC was Dartmouth BASIC, which descended from FORTRAN, where DIMENSION is spelled out.)

Nowadays, Dim is used to define any variable, not just arrays, so its meaning is not intuitive anymore.
