event-log

Is there a way to write to this event log: Or at least, some other Windows default log, where I don't have to register an event source ? cloud120 Yes, there is a way to write to the event log you are looking for. You don't need to create a new source, just simply use the existent one, which often has the same name as the EventLog's name and also, in some cases like the event log Application, can be accessible without administrative privileges*. *Other cases, where you cannot access it directly, are the Security EventLog, for example, which is only accessed by the operating system. I used this

I'm creating an ASP.NET application that will log some stuff to Windows EventLog. To do this an event source has to be created first. This requires administrative priviledges so I cannot do it in the ASP.NET app. Is there an existing command-line application that is bundled with Windows that can create an event log source, or must I roll out my own?

I'm creating an installer for a website that uses a custom event log source. I would like our WiX based installer to create that event log source during installation. Does anyone know the best way to do this using the WiX framework. Wix has out-of-the-box support for creating event log sources. Assuming you use Wix 3, you first need to add a reference to WixUtilExtension to either your Votive project or the command line. You can then add an EventSource element under a component : <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension">

I am using a FileSystemWatcher to monitor a folder. But when there is some event happening in the directory, I don't know how to search who made a impact on that file. I tried to use EventLog. It just couldn't work. Is there another way to do it? I cant remember where I found this code but its an alternative to using pInvoke which I think is a bit overkill for this task. Use the FileSystemWatcher to watch the folder and when an event fires you can work out which user made the file change using this code: private string GetSpecificFileProperties(string file, params int[] indexes) { string

I’m working on trying to port an ASP.NET app from Server 2003 (and IIS6) to Server 2008 (IIS7). When I try and visit the page on the browser I get this: Server Error in ‘/’ Application.
