EventLoh issue !

[One Handed Man [ OHM# ]]

I'm stuck on something stupid. I thought this code would generate events in the windows event log under the Superanuation Log heading. However, it does not. I found if I use the EventLog.writeEntry method to get a register of the message on the log. I'm a bit onfused with this because the EventLog class has a message container, where all the items are stored from by the listener, I would have thought that this would auto write to the log.

I know I'm tired and simply missing the right way to do this, someone help me clear the mist please !

Dim myLog As New EventLog("Superannuation Log")
myLog.Source = "Trace Output"

Try

Dim myListener As New EventLogTraceListener(myLog)
Trace.AutoFlush = True
Dim x As Integer
For x = 10000 To 500000 Step 5000
Trace.WriteLine(x.ToString)
Trace.Flush()
Next
Catch ex As Exception
Trace.WriteLine(ex.ToString)
End Try

Hi OHM,

I never did something with the EventsLogs but I knew someone who loves them.
And he did spent a lot of them with the Events log because he did not get it
as he wanted, but I thought at last he got it.

I have looked up from him something on the google newsgrous, there were only
two answers, but his answers are mostly complete.

is the problem.

Or is this a web server? ;-)))

Thanx guys, basically, this seems to be a cr*ppy solution really. It to me
looks ill thought out by microsoft.

Cheers - Anyway

I remember I already pointed that out in an other thread started by
OHM...

:-(

 

[One Handed Man [ OHM# ]]

I dont remember starting any thread on this subject before !

Armin, I'm not sure how your post helps really. The point is that the
EventLog Class does not seem to work in a sensible way. To me it defies the
perceived logic of how it should work.

I would have expected the EventLog to have received messages directly once a
listener was in place. This does not happen and that is my point.

And no, this is not a web server

Armin, I'm not sure how your post helps really.

It _might_ give you _one_ reason why nobody answers and enables you to
change it.

The simple reason why _I_ didn't give an answer was that I don't have one.

OK, then Im sorry if I upset you.
