Correct filename for events

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I have event logging working now (thank you all for the help). But we now
need to add doing this to our setup program. The file on my system is:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Even tLogMessages.dll

So my question is how do we programatically get this path and filename?
1) Where do we get the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework part from? Do we
just add Microsoft.NET\Framework to the windows directory?
2) The v2.0.50727 part - do we build that from the AppDomain version number
or somewhere else?
3) Is the filename hardcoded as EventLogMessages.dll?

I don't want our stuff to break if a new version comes out.

Hey David,

You can get the current .NET Framework location using this call

string runtime =
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment. GetRuntimeDirectory()

Hi Dave,

You can use RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory() to get the
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ part.

#RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory Method
(System.Runtime.InteropServices)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...pservices.runt
imeenvironment.getruntimedirectory.aspx

This is assuming you're creating the installer code in .NET. Let me know if
this is not the case.

For the "EventLogMessages.dll", it should be pretty safe to hard code its
name.
