Error logging to event log

Keith Chisarik — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 13:49:07 GMT

I have added my own error logging routine to UnhandledExceptionFound, currently among other things it writes errors to the application log.

Is there a way to create an event log specific to my application to write errors to, or do I have to use one of the Windows default log types?

I have looked and didnt find anything and figured I would post here before I gave up because I would really like to segregate my applications errors to their own event log.

Thanks

OK thanks Ben, that was my conclusion.

I believe there is only one Application event log, but you can specify the "source" for the entries that should allow you to separate your entries from other applications.

application log should read "Windows Event Logs"

I am using

Dim objEventLog As New EventLog()
objEventLog.WriteEntry(Entry, EventType)
