Problem writing to custom eventlog

Hello,

I have created a a logging mechanism, that writes mesages to a custom event
log. On each check it verifies whether the requested source is registered to
the "IPS" log. If not, it changes the registration. My problem is that
*some* messages still goto the application log, even with this code. I have
stepped through the code and verified that the logName variable actually
contains the value "IPS", but it still does not go into my own log.

I know that the docs, specify the redirecting to a different eventlog, will
not take effect until the system is restarted - i DID restart (several
times) but some log messages still end up in the application log. any
ideas??

*************** *************** *************** *********'
lock (_EventLogLockO bject)
{
if (!EventLog.Sour ceExists(source ))
{
EventLog.Create EventSource(sou rce, "IPS",
System.Environm ent.MachineName );
}
else
{
string logName = EventLog.LogNam eFromSourceName (source,
System.Environm ent.MachineName );
if (logName != "IPS")
{
EventLog.Delete EventSource(sou rce);
EventLog.Create EventSource(sou rce, "IPS",
System.Environm ent.MachineName );
}
}
EventLog evLog = new EventLog("IPS", System.Environm ent.MachineName ,
source);
evLog.WriteEntr y(message, entryType);
}
*************** *************** *************** **********

OK this just seems to be a common question being asked around here, I've tried Google Grouping the question but I still haven't came up with a solution yet. So here goes... I'm getting the Security Exception about being Unable to Access a Registry Key when trying to write to my custom event log. the Eventlog I'm trying to write to, has already been created via an Installer class

Hi, I'm sure this issue has been covered before but after searching around I can't find anything which deals with quite the same set of circumstances or suggests an optimal solution. The issue is, broadly, that when I try to write to the Windows Event Log from ASP.NET code I receive a System.Security.SecurityException ("Requested registry access is not allowed").

Hi there I'm trying to find the correct way to write exceptions to the Application log using Vb.Net. I've done a fair bit of Googleing and although this gets plenty of mentions and that this is apparently the correct way forward nobody offers a solution as to how it is actually done. I gather that code like:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
