ErrorLog.WriteEntry : force exception

[John A Grandy]

Can anyone think of a way to force ErrorLog.WriteEntry() to throw an
exception (assuming you don't specify another machine) ?

If you specify a non-existent source , it will automatically create a log
for it , so that won't work.

for it , so that won't work.

Did you look at msdn? Exception is raised in case of
- The Source property of the EventLog has not been set.
- The source is already registered for a different event log.
- The message string is longer than 32766 bytes.
- The source name results in a registry key path longer than 254 characters.
- or -

The source name results in a registry key path longer than 254 characters.
