Sorry Gary. I missed the inline remarks!
Very strange. The first thing I notice is that you didn't include any code
that, for example, imports System.Diagnostics. Is it there? Another
possibility is that you created an instance of The
System.Diagnostics.EventLog class and named it "EventLog." Did you? The 2
methods you are having problems with are Shared methods, which means that
they can be invoked without an instance of the class. You might try revising
each of them something like the following:
If Not System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(EventLogN ame) Then
This would certainly clear up any possible ambiguity that exists.

Kevin,
There are two problems
1. Error Message = SourceExists is not a member of EventLog at line:
If Not EventLog.sourceExists(EventLogName) Then
2. Error Message = CreateEventSource is not a member of EventLog at line:
EventLog.CreateEventSource(EventLogName, EventLogName)
The problems were written inline the message :-)
Please help me.

news:O%****************@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... I am trying to write to a event log using the EventLog Class in a ASP.net application.
The following code was added to 'Aplication_Error' subroutine in the
'Global.asax' file
Public Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim ErrorDescription As String = Server.GetLastError.ToString()
'Creation of event log if it does not exist
Dim EventLogName As String = "ErrorSample"
If Not EventLog.sourceExists(EventLogName) Then
' Problem1 Error Message = SourceExists is not a member of
EventLog
EventLog.CreateEventSource(EventLogName, EventLogName)
' Problem2 Error Message = CreateEventSource is not a
member of EventLog
End If
'Inserting into eventlog
Dim Log As New eventlog()
Log.Source = EventLogName
Log.WriteEntry(ErrorDescription, EventLogEntryType.Error)
End Sub
I am using Microsoft Development Environment 2002 version 7.0.9466 &
Microsoft.NET framework 1.0 version 1.0.3705
Please suggest some solution to the above problem.
TIA,
Gary
