<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a log file that I am adding error messages to as my application runs along, e.g. logfile.AppendText. I would like help on how I can limit the size of the file and possible delete the first stored line, when the file has reached it's max limit, so the new AppendText will add the error to end of the file, so a FiFo file type system in Visual Basic.<br />

Thanks

Visual Basic.NET

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
