I creating an ASP .Net application with a SQL Server database backend. When
I try to create as connection using the wizard the following error appears
"The event file log is full.

How can I clear this file? Where is the file located. Any assistance is

I recommend doing some research into the System.Diagnostics.EventLog
Class.

Try this:

Right click on My Computer and choose Manage
Expand the Event Viewer node and you should see the logs.
Right click the event log in question and choose properties.
Under Log Size choose the option that says "Overwrite events as
needed".
