I am not sure I understand your setup.

Are we talking frontend? You could check if Dynamicweb.Fronten.Pageview.Current is null - if it is, you are not in the Dynamicweb frontend.

As always, thanks for the quick reply. This is a minor issue, but one that I'd expect would have a simple answer :)

I'm in the backend where I have different service classes. Some of these should be logging events and exceptions and so on to the DW log.

However, I also have a regular C# console project using some of those same services. Yes, I'm aware that I could be writing DW scheduled tasks, but right now that's not the case.

My code in the services are using the Dynamicweb.Logging.LogManager which throws the exception if I am accessing it through my console job. This isn't all that weird, but I'd just like to know if there was something else I could call to know if this exception would be thrown. Something like "Dynamicweb.Logging.LogManager.Current == null" or something general like "Dynamicweb.Context.Current == null" or perhaps "Dynamicweb.Context.IsValid".

More expansive code example:

if(???) // I'd expect to use something like LogManager.Current != null
{
    var logger = LogManager.Current.GetLogger("myLog");
    logger.Log("message123");
}
else
{
    FileLogger.Log("Message123");
}

Cant you just do:

var logger = LogManager?.Current?.GetLogger("myLog");

if(logger != null {

}

Unfortunately not. LogManager.Current is a static function that throws the exception. It doesn't return null. It's the same for Dynamicweb.Context.Current and everything else that i tried.

It would be nice if .Current simply returned null rather than throwing.
