Error while writing to event log, prevents windows service from starting?

Question

I am using the following code to create a custom event log in my windows service application:

Answer 1

Try the following:

EventLog.CreateEventSource("WinService", "Application");
and eventLog1.Log = "Application";

Also put the following in OnStart:

eventLog1.Log="Application"
eventLog1.Source = "WinService";
