Ronald Rex 1,671

I'm trying to follow along with a tutorial at the following link https://www.roundthecode.com/dotnet/create-your-own-logging-provider-to-log-to-text-files-in-net-core that will add logging to my application. But when i look at my Program.cs file I dont know where to put the below code. Thank You !!!

public class Program  
{  
    ...  
       
    public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>  
        Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)  
            .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>  
            {  
                webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();  
            })  
            .ConfigureLogging((hostBuilderContext, logging) =>  
            {  
                logging.AddRoundTheCodeFileLogger(options =>  
                {  
                    hostBuilderContext.Configuration.GetSection("Logging").GetSection("RoundTheCodeFile").GetSection("Options").Bind(options);  
                });  
            });  
}

Hope it helps~

The codes are as follows:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;  
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;  
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;  
using RoundTheCode.FileLogger.Api.Logger;  
  
namespace RoundTheCode.FileLogger.Api  
{  
    public class Program  
    {  
        public static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();  
        }  
  
        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>  
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)  
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>  
                {  
                    webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();  
                })  
                .ConfigureLogging((hostBuilderContext, logging) =>  
                {  
                    logging.AddRoundTheCodeFileLogger(options =>  
                    {  
                        hostBuilderContext.Configuration.GetSection("Logging").GetSection("RoundTheCodeFile").GetSection("Options").Bind(options);  
                    });  
                });  
      
    }  
}

I dont think this will work. Do I need a startup class to use this code?
