The Logger class and set of Logger subclasses basically implement a Strategy design pattern.

Inheritance: IDisposable

Public Methods

Method	Description
Dispose ( ) : void	Call when logging is complete to clean up any resources (like a file handle).
Flush ( ) : void	Flushes the contents of the log to ensure, in the case of writing to disk, that all content is written appropriately. Not all subclasses override this.
LogError ( string message ) : void	Logs any errors to the log file provided filter levels allow for it.
LogImportant ( string message ) : void	Logs the equivalent of a warning provided filter levels allow for it.
LogInfo ( string message ) : void	Logs informational messages provided filtering allows for it.
Reset ( ) : void	Reset the log file and start over. Not all subclasses will implement this.

Protected Methods

Method	Description
Dispose ( bool disposing ) : void	Does the real work of Dispose - cleaning up any resources owned by the logger. This class should be overridden in a subclass to provide real functionality.
Logger ( ) : System	Default constructor for Logger. This constructor is protected due to the class being abstract.
_LogError ( string message ) : void	Implemented by subclass. Called by this base class to have a subclass do the real work of the logging. This technique follows the strategy pattern.
_LogImportant ( string message ) : void	Implemented by subclass. Called by this base class to have a subclass do the real work of the logging. This technique follows the strategy pattern.
_LogInfo ( string message ) : void	Implemented by subclass. Called by this base class to have a subclass do the real work of the logging. This technique follows the strategy pattern.

Method Details

Dispose() public method

Call when logging is complete to clean up any resources (like a file handle).

public Dispose ( ) : void
return	void

Dispose() protected method

Does the real work of Dispose - cleaning up any resources owned by the logger. This class should be overridden in a subclass to provide real functionality.

protected Dispose ( bool disposing ) : void
disposing	bool
return	void

Flush() public method

Flushes the contents of the log to ensure, in the case of writing to disk, that all content is written appropriately. Not all subclasses override this.

public Flush ( ) : void
return	void

LogError() public method

Logs any errors to the log file provided filter levels allow for it.

public LogError ( string message ) : void
message	string	Message to input to the log; can be formatted using FormatString /// parameters.
return	void

LogImportant() public method

Logs the equivalent of a warning provided filter levels allow for it.

public LogImportant ( string message ) : void
message	string	Message to input to the log; can be formatted using FormatString /// parameters.
return	void

LogInfo() public method

Logs informational messages provided filtering allows for it.

public LogInfo ( string message ) : void
message	string	Message to input to the log; can be formatted using FormatString /// parameters.
return	void

Logger() protected method

Default constructor for Logger. This constructor is protected due to the class being abstract.

protected Logger ( ) : System
return	System

Reset() public method

Reset the log file and start over. Not all subclasses will implement this.

public Reset ( ) : void
return	void

_LogError() protected abstract method

Implemented by subclass. Called by this base class to have a subclass do the real work of the logging. This technique follows the strategy pattern.

protected abstract _LogError ( string message ) : void
message	string	Message to log.
return	void

_LogImportant() protected abstract method

Implemented by subclass. Called by this base class to have a subclass do the real work of the logging. This technique follows the strategy pattern.

protected abstract _LogImportant ( string message ) : void
message	string	Message to log.
return	void

_LogInfo() protected abstract method

Implemented by subclass. Called by this base class to have a subclass do the real work of the logging. This technique follows the strategy pattern.

protected abstract _LogInfo ( string message ) : void
message	string	Message to log.
return	void
