Using context.Database.Log in MVC web app

Question

Using the guide here, I\'m trying to log the SQL generated by my MVC web application.

The guide uses the line:

context.Database.Log = Console.Write;
         


        

Answer 1

To write your logs to a file, try this:

using (var context = new MyDbContext())
{
    var logFile = new StreamWriter("C:\\temp\\log.txt");
    context.Database.Log = logFile.Write;

    // Execute your queries here
    // ....

    logFile.Close();
}
