Hello!

I just wonder what does it mean when this statement return true
EventLog.SourceExists("MySource")

I have read in .NET framework but doesn't quite understand what they mean.
They say return true if the given event source(here MySource) exist in the
computer's registry.

What is a event Source?

It's not the same as ServiceName?

Tony,

This is not related to the registry. It simply returns true if your
event source is registered with the system (the comments about the registry
are there to indicate that you need permission to access the registry, as
that is where the event log sources are currently located).
