Event Log User

Does anyone know how to set the User when writing to a Windows Event log?

I would have thought the API would have used the current users context,
However all I get is N\A.

Hello James,

It's because manages WriteEvent set null for the UsersSid param of underneath
WinAPI ReportEvent method
You can see this in reflector

byte[] buffer1 = null;
if (!UnsafeNativeMethods.ReportEvent(new HandleRef(this, this.writeHandle),
(short) type, category, eventID, buffer1, ...)

You need to use PInvoke to call ReportEvent
