System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open log for source {0}. You may
not have write access. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is
denied

I am getting the following error when writing to the event log (Application)
from my asp.net app. Even when I use an identity setting I still get the
same error. Any suggestions appreciated.

The user account "ASPNET" has no write permission on the EventLog. Set
permissions for ASPNET and it works fine
