System.Diagnostics.EventLog on Win9x

[Jeff Molby]

Does anyone know offhand how the EventLog acts on Win9x? Does it know to
create text logs or does it just raise an exception?

If anyone has any experience with this, I'd appreciate a brief answer. I
don't expect anyone to do my research for me.

Thanks!
Jeff

Jeff,

That's easy, it doesn't =) There is no event log on Win 98. While the
class will exist in the framework on installations on 98, it won't work.

Hope this helps.

I figured as much, but I was wondering more about how the class behaves in
that situation. Does it raise an exception? Does it do nothing? Does it log
the entries in a plaintext file?
