how to write to Applicaton log

[John Grandy]

Is the following the correct code to write to the Application EventLog :

EventLog appLog = new EventLog();

appLog.Source = String.Empty;

appLog.WriteEntry("my message");

No it's not. You need to give a non-null non-empty value to the Source
property of your EventLog object.

Hi Francois, and thanks for the response.

Ok, I've figured out most of what I need to do from the documentation ...
except for how to specify the different types of log-entries: Information,
Warning and Error

EventLog does not seem to have an appropriate property.

WriteEntry has an overload (as mentioned in the documentation):

appLog.WriteEntry("my message", EventLogEntryType.Warning);
