.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Security / June 2005custom event log
Hi Has anyone successfully created a custom event log from asp.net / simply editing the Reg?! Can you share how, please?! TIA Hello dl, there is a EventLog.CreateEventSource() method. But you need administrative privs to create an Event Source - so it will likely not work from asp.net directly. --------------------------------------- Dominick Baier - DevelopMentor http://www.leastprivilege.com > Hi > Has anyone successfully created a custom event log from asp.net / > simply > editing the Reg?!

Generally with ASP.NET apps, you create your event source as part of the deployment process and then just write to the event source from the app. If the app attempts to create the event source itself, it will generally fail unless you have configured ASP.NET to run as a local admin which is generally regarded as a really bad idea.

You might write a simple console app that does this that the admin runs when they install your app. You can also be more fancy and integrate this into a Windows installer package. Lots of options.

As I understand it, you need to use the message compiler to do it, but I've never done it and have no experience with it. As I understand it, when you create an event source with .NET, you'll get the standard .NET framework message file associated with it.

The most I've ever done is just write strings and numbers for eventIDs and that has been all I've needed. Maybe one of the platform sdk groups?

Can you share how, please?! > >> >> >> >>> TIA Generally, what I do is this: In a separate application run by the admin, do something that calls EventLog.CreateEventSource like Dominick suggested. Sometimes this is a simple app. Another easy way to do it is to have an EventLogInstaller class in your assembly and have the admin run InstallUtil.exe on your assembly. This will run the installer class and create the event source. Then, from my code, I would have something that simply calls EventLog.WriteEntry, passing in the source you created in the step above, the message string, log type and eventID if I wanted to use event IDs. That is generally enough to get this working. There are a variety of other deployment options including MSI and creating your own message files, but this will give you basic event log functionality.
