event-log

I've got a library that I use across multiple ClickOnce applications. In the event of an error in this library I would like to write the error to the windows EventLog . I found a KB article on how but it seems that this requires administrator permissions to search the for the source. Specifically it chokes when trying to search the Security event log. Is there anyway to work around this and write to the event log in a ClickOnce application? I saw one person trying to write to a known source , but they didn't seem to be able to find a source that was consistently available. EDIT: Based on

I would like to log in the Windows Event Viewer using log4net. I created a Console Application (.NET Framework 4), I added the reference log4net.dll, I put the following code in my App.config: <configuration> <configSections> <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net"/> </configSections> <log4net> <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender"> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <level

Is there a way to watch events of "applications and services" when they are generated (in C#)? I've figured out that I can not use WMI for it. Any other ideas? You can subscribe to EventLog.EntryWritten Event Occurs when an entry is written to an event log on the local computer. From MSDN: .... EventLog myNewLog = new EventLog(); myNewLog.Log = "MyCustomLog"; myNewLog.EntryWritten += new EntryWrittenEventHandler(MyOnEntryWritten); myNewLog.EnableRaisingEvents = true; } public static void MyOnEntryWritten(object source, EntryWrittenEventArgs e){ } Did your try it wit the EventLog.EntryWritten

I want to see about logging events from a Delphi 5 application to the Windows log, and from another post here I see that I can use the TEventLogger class to do this. However, I can't find any documentation on the syntax of the TEventLogger.LogMessage procedure, so I don't know what all the parameters mean, how to use them, or even what possible values are available. I've tried looking around, and all I find is a page from Embarcadero stating that the function exists, but nothing on its syntax, and MSDN is no help as I can only find the BizTalk version which does me no good. Does anyone have a

I'm using this code to readmy own event Log from my win7 Computer. EventLogQuery eventsQuery = new EventLogQuery("Security", PathType.LogName, queryString); eventsQuery.ReverseDirection = true; EventLogReader logReader = new EventLogReader(eventsQuery); However - I need to read the EventLog for a remote computer ( Lan - Same domain) How can I do that ? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb671200(v=vs.90).aspx public void QueryRemoteComputer() { string queryString = "*[System/Level=2]"; // XPATH Query SecureString pw = GetPassword(); EventLogSession session = new EventLogSession(

When using System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogQuery to read events from the Windows Event Log, the EventRecord.FormatDescription() method sometimes returns null. Why is this? In the Event Viewer there are messages on the events which return null. This is due to a bug in the .NET framework. Basically what you need to do to work around this bug is to set the CurrentCulture to "en-US". Example: var beforeCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture; try { Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US"); using (var session = new EventLogSession(ipOrAddress, userDomain,

Short Version: Are the event sources "Application" and "Application Error" always included in the Application Event Log? Are they available on new installations of Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7? Would it be really bad to use them instead of creating my own source (an impossibility for me)? Long Version: I have a ClickOnce application that is used by users without administrative privileges on their machines. When I try to write to the Appliction Event Log, I get a security exception. (The Windows event logging infrastructure is trying to create me a new event source, and gets a security
