C# - Need Help in code for logging

[JDomo]

Hi everyone,

I a newbie for C# programming, current I m given a project on server - clients system using C#. I able to come out with a multithreads server - clients system.

Now I need to record/keep track of the data that I send from the clients side to the server side.

May I know what program to use? As in must I use EVENT LOG? or just some Read/Write text that will add to the clients code?

I am lost, I really don't know what to do next..

Some samples or links that I can refer too will be good.

Thanks in advance.

Depending on the type of data, you may want a database, event log, or something else.

For what type of data, i still not so sure right now, but i need to so a demo type, so i guess i am using some string and int to display..

So i guess Event log will best suit my project?

So there is another question to event log, how am i going to link the client massage to the event log? As in i need to record down what i send to the server as for a counter checking purpose.

Here is my client program; hope anyone of you guys can give me a helping hand.

// Client Program

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;
using System.Net.Sockets;


public class clnt {

public static void Main() {

try {
// Hot Key
Console.WriteLine("Command: ");
Console.WriteLine("Press [enter] after completed a string");
Console.WriteLine("Type [exit] to exit from the sever");

TcpClient tcpclnt = new TcpClient();
Console.WriteLine("\nConnecting to Server...");
Boolean running = true;

tcpclnt.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8001);
// use the ipaddress as in the server program, "127.0.0.1" is the default IPaddress.

Console.WriteLine("Connected");
//Console.Write("Enter the string to be transmitted : ");

while (running)
{
Console.Write("Enter the string to be transmitted : ");
String str = Console.ReadLine();
String recStr = "";
Stream stm = tcpclnt.GetStream();

ASCIIEncoding asen = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] ba = asen.GetBytes(str);
Console.WriteLine("Transmitting...");

stm.Write(ba, 0, ba.Length);

byte[] bb = new byte[100];

int k = stm.Read(bb, 0, 100);

for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
//Console.Write(Convert.ToChar(bb[i]));
recStr = recStr + Convert.ToChar(bb[i]);
Console.WriteLine(recStr);
stm.Flush();
bb = null;
ba = null;

}

}

catch (Exception e) {
Console.WriteLine("Error..... " + e.StackTrace);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}

}

Sorry that I still don't know how to use window form. So hope you guys can help me by guiding me through using non window form.

Thanks in advance;
