Problem when trying to use EventLog.SourceExists method in .NET

EventLog.CreateEventSource(\         


        

Answer 1

Short tip:

One event source is registered during Service instalation (if application is Windows Service), and can be used without Security Exception with low-profile process owner (not Administrator)

I perform service installation / run with C# code in typical way from SO/ MSDN

Important is property ServiceName in class System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase .
