ELMAH - Exception Logging without having HttpContext

Question

I tried this solution with Elmah.XmlFileErrorLog but I\'m getting following exception

System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled by user code
  Message=\"Val         


        

Answer 1

Thanks everyone, here is my ErrorHelper class I came up with to manually log errors on websites and in WCF services, windows services, etc:

    public static class ErrorHelper
{
    /// 

    /// Manually log an exception to Elmah.  This is very useful for the agents that try/catch all the errors.
    /// 
    /// In order for this to work elmah must be setup in the web.config/app.config file
    /// 
    /// 
    public static void LogErrorManually(Exception ex)
    {
        if (HttpContext.Current != null)//website is logging the error
        {                
            var elmahCon = Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext();
            elmahCon.Raise(ex);
        }
        else//non website, probably an agent
        {                
            var elmahCon = Elmah.ErrorLog.GetDefault(null);
            elmahCon.Log(new Elmah.Error(ex));
        }
    }
}
