How to make new custom log

[Anders Both]

How do I make my wery own custom log, so that I don´t need to write into the
Application Log.

I want a log that I can see in computer manament side by side with the three
others : Application, Security and System.

Hi Anders

To write to custom log, first you need to create a event source and log. Check this link about CreateEventSource
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ventsources.as

After this, you can use WriteEntry method to write to the log. Please note, you need to give the event source and log which you created using the previous method. check the below link for WriteEntry

Hope this helps
