I've created a new EventLog for mail services in my web application. Each
time a mail is sent, it is recorded in the eventlog for later review. This
works fine when I am on my development machine (Windows XP Pro), but when I
try to do this on my test server (Windows 2003) I get the security error
message that I don't have the permissions to write to the log.
The EventLog is my own, not one of the base 3 that is in Windows. I saw how
to change the permissions in the registry to allow ASPNET permission to
access the logs, but I don't want that, thus the reason for creating my own
EventLog.
Is there a way to provide permission to ASPNET for specific EventLogs?
Thanks in advance.

you need to add your custom eventlog node to the registery and set
permission. as asp.net is not an admin on the test box, you must do this for
it.

What you could do is create a Class and have that write to your EventLog.
I've done that and its used by an web app and web service and I didn't have
to setup any special permission for it to work.

Hello,
I have created a a logging mechanism, that writes mesages to a custom event
log. On each check it verifies whether the requested source is registered to
the "IPS" log. If not, it changes the registration. My problem is that
*some* messages still goto the application log, even with this code. I have
stepped through the code and verified that the logName variable actually
contains the value "IPS", but it still does not go into my...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
