You have to create an event source before you can write to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/712203/writing-to-an-event-log-in-asp-net-on-windows-server-2008-iis7 the event log (if you don't, the Event log object tries to create one for you "automagically" the first time you write to the log). You have to have hightened permissions to create an event log source. In some of my web apps, I have put the code to create the event source into my setup (setup runs as admin, so I'm always guaranteed to be able to create the source). You just have to create the source once. After that, your ASP.Net app should have sufficient permissions to write entries specifying the source (or sources) that you created. You can use an EventLogInstaller in your setup to create the source, or you could just write a little utility to call EventLog.CreateEventSource() as an admin. I'll show you both ways: // You would do this one from within an Installer class in a setup: private void InstallEventLog() { EventLogInstaller logInstaller; //Create an instance of an EventLogInstaller. logInstaller = new EventLogInstaller(); //Set the source name of the event log. logInstaller.Source = "TheEventSourceName"; Installers.Add(logInstaller); } Method 2: just call CreateEventSource once as an admin (you could put the following code into a console app, for example, and run the console app as admin EventLog.CreateEventSource("TheSourceName", "Application"); Bonus: If you have Powershell installed on your server, you can do it from the Powershell command prompt: (Make sure you are running Powershell as an admin) [system.Diagnostics.EventLog]::CreateEventSource("SourceName", "Application") Hop that helps share|improv

I am not a perfect programmer, and the same probably applies to you (otherwise you would be stinkin' rich, laying on the beach somewhere drinking a Bacardi and Coke, instead of reading this article). Because we aren't perfect, we know we are going to write to windows run into errors in the applications we write sooner or later. This article will explain how you can catch these errors in your ASP.NET applications and log them to the Windows Event log, so it's easy to review them later. The article focuses on ASP.NET, but the principle applies to other .NET applications as well. Prerequisites In this article, I am going to use Visual Studio .NET 2003, so it's handy if you have that to your availability. Visual Studio .NET 2002 will do as well, and you can even follow along if you program in Notepad and use the command line compilers. I'll be using C# as the main language, but you could easily write the code in Visual Basic .NET. Errors? What Errors? I compiled the application and it looks fine! With the arrival of IDEs like Visual Studio .NET and smart compilers, you can catch quite a lot of errors at design time. Syntax errors, undeclared variables, unsafe casts etc can all be caught by the compiler. So, some people believe that if they compile without getting an error or a warning from the compiler, their application is good and bug-free. Unfortunately, this is not true. Even though the program is free of syntax errors, you can still run into design mistakes or run-time errors. Important files could be missing, required fields are not filled in correctly, people break the interface of a public Web Serv

(Thankfully, the statute of limitations—this was 20 years ago—has run out.) I never stole anything or wrecked anyone's data, but I did encourage a young fellow to send roses to his girlfriend and hooked a football player, Napolean XXXXXXX (last name omitted), up on a blind date. I understand the allure of going and being places one isn't allowed, but this crap makes life a pain in the butt for the rest of us. I wonder whether you should hate hackers and those nitwits who tweak Trojans, so the rest of us have to keep sending money to McAfee?! I also wonder if maybe the sparring and jousting among programmers, Microsoft and hackers, and cyber thieves aren't necessary to push the technology forward, at least as far as security is concerned, so we all are protected from worse—cyber terrorists. With the economy in the shape it's in, an effective cyber terror attack could push the economy into the trash compactor and send normally sane people running for the bunker. The unfortunate net effect in my little community is like taking off my shoes at airport security—I have to re-learn how to do little things over. Clearly mucking about in the Registry or event logs could be a hugely potential security risk, so this is just one of many areas where the wheel-of-torture that is security gets tightened down. If you have had any difficulties creating and using the event log for ASP.NET, this article should help you "learn" to do it right (again). Writing to the EventLog If you wanted to write to the EventLog, you can still create an instance of the EventLog and call WriteEntry. By default, your entry will be written to the Application log.
