Examples

The following code example writes an informational event entry, and then reuses the EventInstance to write an entry for a warning event to an existing event log. The event message text is specified using a resource identifier in a message resource file. The code example assumes that the corresponding message resource file has been registered for the source.

// Ensure that the source has already been registered using
// EventLogInstaller or EventLog.CreateEventSource.
String^ sourceName = "SampleApplicationSource";
if ( EventLog::SourceExists( sourceName ) )
{
   // Define an informational event with no category.
   // The message identifier corresponds to the message text in the
   // message resource file defined for the source.
   EventInstance ^ myEvent = gcnew EventInstance( UpdateCycleCompleteMsgId,0 );

   // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
   EventLog::WriteEvent( sourceName, myEvent, 0 );

   // Reuse the event data instance for another event entry.
   // Set the entry category and message identifiers for
   // the appropriate resource identifiers in the resource files
   // for the registered source.  Set the event type to Warning.
   myEvent->CategoryId = RefreshCategoryMsgId;
   myEvent->EntryType = EventLogEntryType::Warning;
   myEvent->InstanceId = ServerConnectionDownMsgId;

   // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
   // Insert the machine name into the event message text.
   array<String^>^ss = {Environment::MachineName};
   EventLog::WriteEvent( sourceName, myEvent, ss );
}
else
{
   Console::WriteLine( "Warning - event source {0} not registered", sourceName );
}


// Ensure that the source has already been registered using
// EventLogInstaller or EventLog.CreateEventSource.

string sourceName = "SampleApplicationSource";
if(EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName))
{
    // Define an informational event with no category.
    // The message identifier corresponds to the message text in the
    // message resource file defined for the source.
    EventInstance myEvent = new EventInstance(UpdateCycleCompleteMsgId, 0);

    // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent);

    // Reuse the event data instance for another event entry.
    // Set the entry category and message identifiers for
    // the appropriate resource identifiers in the resource files
    // for the registered source.  Set the event type to Warning.

    myEvent.CategoryId = RefreshCategoryMsgId;
    myEvent.EntryType = EventLogEntryType.Warning;
    myEvent.InstanceId = ServerConnectionDownMsgId;

    // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    // Insert the machine name into the event message text.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent, Environment.MachineName);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Warning - event source {0} not registered",
        sourceName);
}

Dim sourceName as String = "SampleApplicationSource"
If EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName)
    
    ' Define an informational event with no category.
    ' The message identifier corresponds to the message text in the
    ' message resource file defined for the source.
    Dim myEvent As EventInstance = New EventInstance(UpdateCycleCompleteMsgId, 0)
    ' Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent)

    ' Reuse the event data instance for another event entry.
    ' Set the entry category and message identifiers for
    ' the appropriate resource identifiers in the resource files
    ' for the registered source.  Set the event type to Warning.

    myEvent.CategoryId = RefreshCategoryMsgId
    myEvent.EntryType = EventLogEntryType.Warning
    myEvent.InstanceId = ServerConnectionDownMsgId

    ' Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    ' Insert the machine name into the event message text.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent, Environment.MachineName)

Else 
    Console.WriteLine("Warning - event source {0} not registered", _
        sourceName)
End If

The code example uses the following message text file, built into the resource library EventLogMsgs.dll. A message text file is the source from which the message resource file is created. The message text file defines the resource identifiers and text for the category, event message, and parameter insertion strings.

Remarks

To write an informational entry to an event log, initialize an EventInstance and pass it to the WriteEvent method. Set the instanceId to the resource identifier of the event message in the corresponding MessageResourceFile property for the source. Set the categoryId to a numeric category value, or the resource identifier of the event category in the CategoryResourceFile property for the source; set the categoryId to zero for no event category. The EntryType property for the new instance is set to Information by default.

The Event Viewer uses the resource identifiers to display the corresponding strings from the localized resource files for the source. You must register the source with the corresponding resource files before you can write events using resource identifiers.

Examples

The following code example writes two audit event entries to the event log myNewLog. The code example creates a new event source and a new event log if they do not exist on the local computer. The event message text is specified using a resource identifier in a resource file.

// Create the event source if it does not exist.
String^ sourceName = "SampleApplicationSource";

   // Call a local method to register the event log source
   // for the event log "myNewLog."  Use the resource file
   // EventLogMsgs.dll in the current directory for message text.
   String^ messageFile = String::Format( "{0}\\{1}", System::Environment::CurrentDirectory, "EventLogMsgs.dll" );
   CreateEventSourceSample1( messageFile );
}

// Get the event log corresponding to the existing source.
String^ myLogName = EventLog::LogNameFromSourceName( sourceName, "." );
EventLog^ myEventLog = gcnew EventLog( myLogName,".",sourceName );

// Define two audit events.

Remarks

To write an entry to an event log, initialize an EventInstance and pass it to the WriteEvent method. Set the instanceId to the resource identifier of the event message in the corresponding MessageResourceFile property for the source. Set the categoryId to a numeric category value, or the resource identifier of the event category in the CategoryResourceFile property for the source; set the categoryId to zero for no event category.

Set the entryType to one of the pre-defined entry types. The Event Viewer uses the event type to determine which icon to display in the list view of the event log.
