EventlLog - How to Query all the different logs

[Guest]

Is there an object that I can query that will return to me the different logs
in the EventLog? I know by default there exist a System, Security and
Application Eventl log.

But, I'd like to bind all the different logs dynamically to a dropDownList
control.

Just not sure which object to use.

I looked at Object EventLog but it did not have a method or property to
return the different logs within the Eventlog.



Thanks

Tom

Hi. You can pull the list from the Registry at:

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog

Thanks I can do that but do you know why the object model doesn't supply a
method or property?

There is...

EventLog.GetEventLogs();
