Sorry if this appears twice ... I sent it two hours ago and nothing appears
in the newsgroup ...
I'm trying to write to the eventlog but unfortunately I keep getting the
error at the bottom of this post. The code snippet is as follows:
string source = "My Program";
// Create the source, if it does not already exist.
if (!EventLog.SourceExists(source))
{
EventLog.CreateEventSource(source, "Application");
}
// Create an EventLog instance and assign its source.
EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
myLog.Source = source;
// Write an informational entry to the event log.
myLog.WriteEntry("message");
The error occurs at the second line of code [ if
(!EventLog.SourceExists(source))]. This should be simple, shouldn't it?
I'm new to .NET 2.0/ VS 2005 and would be grateful for any hep you can
provide.
Regards
Mike
