RE: What do I need to do to get rid of this error? Please help

I wish it was that easy!!!!   I have multiple components (20+) using the same log file for logging messages.  I don't think I can check which of the components is currently locking the files, before writing log messages.   How do I resolve this?   -----Original Message----- From: Shireesh Thanneru [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 11:55 AM To: Log4NET User Subject: Re: What do I need to do to get rid of this error? Please help   You need to make sure that no other process/program is accessing the the file at "C:\Program Files\Mobius\contenuity\LogFiles\vdrconBOLog.txt" so that log4net can acquire a lock on that file.
