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);
}

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

Each event is of a single type, which the application indicates when it reports the event. The Event Viewer uses the event type to determine which icon to display in the list view of the event log.
