Hello,
I am writing a service program that writes to a custom EventLog. I
would like the two classes used in the service to write messages to
the same log ideally using a different Source name for filtering etc.
So far I am having little luck. I feel that I have been through the
documentation extensively but am chasing my tail. It seems like it
should be as simple as .CreateEventSou rce in each class I want to
write to the custom log, but to no avail.
When I tried to just add one class to the service program, the service
program wrote to the Application Log and the class wrote to the custom
one, even though the service seemed to have created the log. (Based on
a 5 minute timer before "Newing" my class) (.AutoLog = False) The code
is straight from the service program and EventLog walkthroughs (which
I end up using to clean things up (RemoveSource(s ), DeleteLog) before
my next service removal and reboot.
The last thing I tried was creating a seperate EventLog in each class
and trying to associate the source with the log the service created. I
have attemted to pass a reference to the EventLog to the classes and
then change the source like in the multithreaded examples. I have
tried to bring the service pgms EventLog into scope in the classes.
AHHHHHHH!!!
I am obviously making this harder that it needs to be.
Thanks for reading this rant. Please advise.

In your OnStart function:
Dim log As EventLog
If Not EventLog.Source Exists("Service SourceNameOfYou rChoice") Then
EventLog.Create Source("Service SourceNameOfYou rChoice")
End If
log = New EventLog("Appli cation", "ServiceSourceN ameOfYourChoice ")

I know, this kind of question has already been asked. However, I could not
find an answer related to the minimal privilege required to be able to
create a new event Source in the appplication event log.
I have a service app that needs to access shares (therefore, I cannot not
start it using the System account). This service needs not to be run with
particular privilege. So, I use a account member of users' group.
Doing so will fail...

afterwards.

I have a windows service that was suppose to write some events into its own

Hi all
I've written a Service application and it must use it's own EventLog. The Service is checking if it is registered as EventLog source, and if not it creates it's own EventLog. Unfortunately the .NET installer program is registering my service as an standard Application EventLog source - making it impossible for my Service to have it's own EventLog (unless I delete the installer created EventLog registry entry after the installation of...

Hi,
I'm using an user defined EventLog called "Fist Full of Lasers" within a C#
service. The Log is created during the installation of the service in which
the first entry of the log is written also.
This works fine with Windows XPSP2. However, with Vista all entries are
written in the Application-Log and not the "Fist Full of Lasers" Log:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
