Custom Event Log message text

[Brian Fulford]

In my application event log... my service logs messages fine... but all the
entries have more text than what I assigned to the message text.. ideas
why???

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( CheckECHStats ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be
able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and
Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service
Stopped.

Hi Brian,

I'm not quite sure how this occurs with limited information. Generally, you
got this message when the Event Source was deleted or an application was
uninstalled. Did you use System.Diagnostics.EventLog.DeleteEventSource to
delete the Event Source in your application after writing logs?

Would you please provide me with some of your codes so that I can help you
more quickly?.

If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

Hi Kevin,

I wasnt Deleting the Event Source.. but I did figure it out in a round about
way. I wasnt calling the system.diagnostics.eventlog.createeventsource.. I
was calling eventlog1.createeventsource.... changing this seems to have
gotten the right message text into the event log without the extra verbiage.

If Not System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists("CheckECH Stats") Then

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource("Che ckECHStats", "Check ECH
Stats Log")

End If

EventLog1.Source = "CheckECHStats"

EventLog1.Log = "Check ECH Stats Log"
