I've been having a problem writing to an event to the Application log. I
believe the issue is caused by the fact that the source was previously both a
custom log and the source.
I deleted the log using EventLog.Delete (logname);
I couldn't delete the source as it there was an error reporting that I
couldn't delete the event source as it had the same name as the log. Once I
deleted the log, the source appeared to not have any reference to it.
On my XP machine, I can successfully add events to the Application Log with
the same source as before. However, on a 2003 server in which I had done the
same, I cannot add that source to the Application. I can make up any other
custom source and successfully create en event in the Application log.
Code I used to create custom event:
String sourceName = "My Custom Source";
String logName = "Applicatio n";
String sEvent = "Sample Event";
EventLog log;
if (EventSourceTex tBox.Text.Trim( ) != "")
{
if (!EventLog.Sour ceExists(source Name))
EventLog.Create EventSource(sou rceName, logName);
log = new EventLog();
log.Source = sourceName;
log.WriteEntry( sEvent, EventLogEntryTy pe.Error);
}
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any ideas.

As a guess, make sure you have permissions.
Creating a new SourceName or LogName takes specific permissions.
Make sure you know which WindowsIdentity you're running under.

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my original post. It is not a
permissions issue, as I can create sources and logs on the server. All the
sources I refer to other than the custom one I had referrenced before I can
apply to the Application Log. At worst, I will just choose a different source
name, but that isn't ideally what I want to do.

Hello,
I need to use events in MIDP2.0, where EventObject class does not
exist. I have built a custom event WITHOUT using EventObject (see code
below: //Initially //Final) and, apparently, it has the same behaviour
as the same one extending this class. My question is:
Is it possible to build a custom event without extending EventObject
that has the same behaviour as one which extends class EventObject?
What am I missing?

I am using EIF to write event log entries to my
application. By first creating my Event Source and then
raising my event via the Event Source, I do see my entries
in the Application Event Log. I want to create a custom
Event log and have my log messages go there instead of to
the Application Log. If not using EIF, I know I could do
it using
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource

Below is a snippet which doesn't work as expected.

I was looking at a page that showed how to set up a custom event and it
seems to work ok. But I am not sure how I would use it. How would I
subscribe to it. There is actual action (such as pressing a button or
changing text in a textbox).
It gets set up and on the user control on my web page I can see the event
from intellisense. So it seems to be set up, but I am trying to get an easy
example of how I would now use this event.
