Unable to obtain a stream for the log

Unable to obtain a stream for the log. Potential file names based on <name> are already in use.

The FileLogTraceListener class could not create a new log file because all potential log file names based on <name> are already in use.

Having too many log files may indicate an architectural problem with the application. See the documentation for the FileLogTraceListener class for more information.

To correct this error

  1. Set the LogFileCreationSchedule property to Daily or Weekly to include a date-stamp in the log file name.

  2. Archive the existing logs and remove them from the computer to allow the FileLogTraceListener object to create new logs.
