Question about WriteEntry...

[Ray Cassick \(Home\)]

I noticed that when I write an entry into the Windows event log using one of
the various overloaded WriteEntry methods I always get the following text
below my description:

I don't want to send my users to the MS website....

I have seen applications that have been able to put thier own links there,
but I don't think they are using DOTNET.

Any ideas?

As far as i see, since .Net internally used advapi32.dll::ReportEvent()
for writing to the event log and since that method has no param for
configuring the link, it does not seem possible to change the link using
..Net.
