Cant write to event log

Hi,

I am trying to learn how to write key events to the application event log.

I create a new windows application (not ASP) and use the following code:

My.Application.Log.WriteEntry("Please show in the application log")

I get nothin'.... I am running Vista SP1 and using VS 2008 (VB.net 2008)

Thanks much!

Cory

Personally, I prefer to use an instance of the EventLog class in the
System.Diagnostics namespace to write to an event log.
