the microsoft enterprise logging module of the enterprise framework can be configured for your purpose. it supports a variety of channels including email and trace file. it can be reconfigured through a change in the configuration file of your app.

We are using log4net and have found great flexibility with it. We also have our own wrapper class which is used in all of our projects allowing us to use static methods for writing to the defined logs. Log4net comes with one dll, and of course our wrapper dll. It is easy to extend this for added functionality, our wrapper class now allows us to write to the windows event logs if/when needed.

There are plenty of examples of how to implement log4net, and it provides alot of ways to write/send log information: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html

Example implementation of our wrapper:

Log.Error("Message", this);
Log.Error("Message", Exception, this);
Log.Error("Message", Exception, Type);
Log.Info("Message", this);
Log.Warn("Message", this);
