✔️ If log file does not exist it will created otherwise appended too

try
{
    NullException();
}
catch (Exception exception1)
{
    ApplicationLog.Instance.WriteException(exception1, "Comment");
}

Write text only

The following method writes text (any size) to GeneralUnhandledException.txt. See unit test WriteTextToMainLog

ApplicationLog.Instance.WriteInformation("some text");

Write to multiple files

The following will create a new log file for each call. First call creates Log_1.txt, second Log_2.txt etc.

[TestMethod]
[TestTraits(Trait.IncrementalLogging)]
public void IncrementLogging()
{
    // write a simple string to a file
    ApplicationLog.Instance.Write("Some text 1");
    
    // write a paragraph of text to a file
    ApplicationLog.Instance.Write(LoremIpsumParagraph());
    
    Assert.IsTrue(File.Exists("Log_1.txt") && File.Exists("Log_1.txt"));
}
