Is there any special code I have to write to log event to Security
Event Log? The following code give me "Very Easy Question, How to
write log to SECURTY Event Log? Please help" Error
// Create an EventLog instance and assign its source.
EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
myLog.Source = "Security";
// Write an informational entry to the event log.
myLog.WriteEntr y("Writing warning to event log.",
EventLogEntryTy pe.Warning);
but as soon as I change "Security" to "Applicatio n" ,
everything works fine
// Create an EventLog instance and assign its source.
EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
myLog.Source = "Applicatio n";
// Write an informational entry to the event log.
myLog.WriteEntr y("Writing warning to event log.",
EventLogEntryTy pe.Warning);
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

John,
What happens when you try and write to the security event log? Do you
get an exception or something of that nature? If so, what is it?

Only administrator can read from the security log, but user programs cannot
write to the security log, this is a privilege of the security subsystem
only.

Looks like it only works for WIndows 2003, not Windox XP
True. As I said in my previous answer, you can't write to the Security log
from user code. Even the code as presented in the article needs elevated
privileges to register a provider and the program needs to run with
'SeAuditingPriv ileges' enabled, something you don't want to do from regular
user applications, only very security conscious services need this.
Why do you want to write to the security log anyway, applications and
services should write to the 'Application' log or a private log.

Why? This does explain how to set 'Application' and 'System' eventlog
security, it doesn't say you can write to the 'Security' log because you
can't.

I created a grid, where I register events every time the user changes

I tried creating my own custom event, where i check to see if the

Please bear with me as I've only started programming in C# 2 weeks ago

It goes something like this: (not syntactically correct..it's just for
