Examples

The following example creates a record sequence, appends record to it, reads the records, and finally disposes the sequence.

public class MyLog
{
    string logName = "test.log";
    FileRecordSequence sequence = null;
    bool delete = true;

    public MyLog()
    {
    // Create a FileRecordSequence.
        sequence = new FileRecordSequence(logName, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
    }

// Append records to the record sequence.
    public void AppendRecords()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Appending Log Records...");
        SequenceNumber previous = SequenceNumber.Invalid;

        previous = sequence.Append(CreateData("Hello World!"), SequenceNumber.Invalid, SequenceNumber.Invalid, RecordAppendOptions.ForceFlush);
        previous = sequence.Append(CreateData("This is my first Logging App"), SequenceNumber.Invalid, SequenceNumber.Invalid, RecordAppendOptions.ForceFlush);
        previous = sequence.Append(CreateData("Using FileRecordSequence..."), SequenceNumber.Invalid, SequenceNumber.Invalid, RecordAppendOptions.ForceFlush);

        Console.WriteLine("Done...");
    }
    
// Read the records added to the log.
    public void ReadRecords()
    {
        Encoding enc = Encoding.Unicode;

        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.WriteLine("Reading Log Records...");
        try
        {
            foreach (LogRecord record in this.sequence.ReadLogRecords(this.sequence.BaseSequenceNumber, LogRecordEnumeratorType.Next))
            {
                byte[] data = new byte[record.Data.Length];
                record.Data.Read(data, 0, (int)record.Data.Length);
                string mystr = enc.GetString(data);
                Console.WriteLine("    {0}", mystr);
            }
        }

Remarks

This constructor creates read/write access to the file, and opens the file with share Read access. This means that requests to open the file for writing by this or another process fails until this FileRecordSequence instance has been disposed of, but read attempts will succeed. If path is not found, a new file is created with a size of 0 bytes.
