How to clean up a source in Application events

[Li Pang]

Hi,

I write some message into application events under a specific source. I want
to know how to programmatically clean up the messages within this source?

thanks

Which messages?! Are you talking about comments?

Some thing like:
Dim logName As String

If EventLog.SourceExists("MyOldSource", "myServer") Then
logName = EventLog.LogNameFromSourceName("MyOldSource",
"myServer")
EventLog.DeleteEventSource("MyOldSource", "myServer")
EventLog.Delete(logName, "myServer")

Console.WriteLine((logName & " deleted."))
End If

but the above code remove all events from Application category. I only want
to remove a subset of events specified by the source.
