Question

I was wonder what would be the best way to log changes made to objects created by linq.

I have searched around and this is what i came up with:

using (testDBDataContext db = new testDBDataContext())
{
    Sometable table = db.Sometables.Single(x => x.id == 1);

    table.Something = txtTextboxToChangeValue.Text;

    Sometable tableBeforeChanges = db.Sometables.GetOriginalEntityState(table);

    foreach (System.Data.Linq.ModifiedMemberInfo item in db.Sometables.GetModifiedMembers(table))
    {
        // Obviously writing to debug is not what i would like to do
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Old value: " + item.OriginalValue.ToString());
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("New value: " + item.CurrentValue.ToString());
    }
}

Is this really the way to go to log changes?
