Would it work to write an entry to the event log?<br />
Diagnostics.EventLog.Write<wbr />Entry(AppN<wbr />ame, &quot;Key:&quot; &amp;&nbsp;sKey &amp;&nbsp;&quot; UpdateDate:&quot; &amp;&nbsp;Rec.UpdateDate)<br />
<br />
It will track your times, etc.<br />
<br />
Just a thought.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I need to write to a file in order to log values received through a web service in ASP.NET/VB.Net. This file must be on the web server . What code can I write for this in the web service ?<br />
<br />
Attached is what I have written but I'm not sure if it is good for a web server or only when working with localhost.<br />
Thanks<br />

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.
