I am creating my very first Service application and it seems to be quite simple to do. I want to create an eventlog so I can write away any exceptions that may occur. Is this the correct way? I have the following
If Not MyLog.SourceExists("MorrisonsSync") Then
MyLog.DeleteEventSource("MorrisonsSync")
End If
[code]....
I have an app the writes to the eventlog correctly in xp. The code does not work in win7.
CODE:
I get an error about inaccessable logs:security. I get that. Run as admin it goes away. I do not want to have to do that every time for every user that runs the app. besides they may not have the rights
So I wanted to make an instance of eventlog and set the Log to write to so it does not search the logs and error out on security.
CODE:
Now i get warnings about "Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated."
How the hell else are you to set the log so that the code will work under win7 with normal user rights AND not get this silly warnings?
I have 71 places that I write to the eventlog. that may or may not be too many but that is for another thread.
CODE:
I have a form called SearchScreen and on that screen is a custom control of class recentlyOpenedCompany called 'uxRecentlyOpened' within the form. I have made no changes at all to the SearchScreen form. I have added an aboutdialog to the project and deleted an about form. Thats itand

Is it possible to copy the Eventlog (System, Security, Application) in VB .Net? I cant stop the service to do this. So i need another way to copy it and ready the contents?
View 7 RepliesI'm working with vb.net in Visual Studio 2010, I have a method which writes entries in eventlog, this work fine in Windows XP but did not in Windows 7, here it throws a security exception.I allready know that this problem is because the user who exectues this assembly does not have permissions to write the registry, so my question is if does not exist some way to give permissions on the fly, something like declarative permissions or something
like that....this is my code:
Public Shared Sub Loguear(ByVal xsSource As String, ByVal xsMessage As String, ByVal xeEventType As EventLogEntryType, _
ByVal xsLogName As String)[code].....
What is the benefit of using TraceListeners and EventLogs. If I can write some code that writes information about the the status of my application to a text file or to a database, why would I bother working with the complicated EventLog and Tracelisteners.
View 6 RepliesI have written a number of programs that query the Event viewer of a windows server box, but have never been able to figure out how to do it from the top of the list. The default appears to be from the bottom up. Normally that would be fine, but I am going to soon be writing an application that runs as a service and polls the Event Log for updates constantly. Where the problem is sitting at right now is out log files are huge and necessarily so. What I want to do is query the logs from the top down and break out once I get to the log time that my previous polling had reached. Is there a way to read from the logs from the top down?I had recently kicked around the idea about passing it into a Collection and scanning it from there, but haven't researched that process too much yet. Not sure if you can control how you scan a collection.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get rid of the anoying Microsoft URL in every Eventlog Entry I write through the Eventlog Class within my Application:
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
As these are entries from my own application, the postfix with this URL makes no sense.
I am having trouble reading the event log on another machine. From what I can gather the .geteventlogs("server01") method should return the logs from the computer named "server01" but it doesn't work for me. It returns the results from the local machine instead.

What are best practices when creating a custom event log for a windows service? I've set my service on a timer so it fires up every day (except weekends) at the same time. For the last 3 days, I've been getting the following error: The source 'DMCS57ExportService' is not registered in log 'DMC S57 Export Log'. (It is registered in log 'DMCS57ExportLog'.) " The Source and Log properties must be matched, or you may set Log to the empty string, and it will automatically be matched to the Source property.Based on that error, I know there's something wrong with the code that creates the custom event log (see below)

I understand that the Event Source cannot be found in the log I am writting to (Application) and the application is attempting to create the Event Source but before it can be registered all Logs need to be reviewed to make sure the Event Source isn't already in use.
My question is how should I go about creating an Event Source that can be used by Standard Users? The application will be operating on a corporate network whereby we lock down all users to the least required privellages.[code]...
Getting these warnings while trying to debug,
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure what I did to cause this. I just opened my program one morning and had a warning staring me in the face. I'm guessing by the common reference to VBIDE they are all cause by the same problem. What do they mean and how do I solve them.
Warning1Cannot find wrapper assembly for type library "VBIDE".DM Code Calculator
Warning2Unable to apply publish properties for item "microsoft.vbe.interop".DM Code Calculator
Warning3The referenced component 'VBIDE' could not be found.
I have a bunch of warnings dealing with Crystal Reports, which I was going to use in the program but change my mind. deleted everything I can find dealing with Crystal Reports to no avail. I stall have 20 warnings.
View 4 RepliesI know I can access the local Eventlog using build in functions. However, I need to be able to open and read evt and evtx files save on a remote computer for further analysing.
View 6 RepliesI have VB.Net code in VS 2008 using an obsolete method, and would like to suppress the warning.Unfortunately, following the recommendation is not a good solution, because it requires using a different class, which works differently, in important ways.I'm trying to suppress the warning using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage, but I don't know what to write as the parameters for the attribute, and can't find any relevant reference.
I should also say that, right-clicking on the error in the error list I don't have any 'Suppress Message' option.
So my project works exactly as I want it to. But I have these 2 similar warnings when I Build. I would like to understand and get rid of if possible. [code]

I'm using VS 2005, after VB6 to VB.NET conversion we have fixed all the errors but still have unidentified number of warnings. Is there any way to increase this limit of 101 warning you can see after compiling? I want to actually see the total number of warnings to get an idea how much work is there.
View 15 RepliesWas looking at some code earlier, and am thinking that there has to be a more elegant way of writing this...(returnVar.Warnings is a string array, it could be returned as any size depending on the number of warnings that are logged)
For Each item In items
If o.ImageContent.ImageId = 0 Then
ReDim Preserve returnVar.Warnings(returnVar.Warnings.GetUpperBound(0) + 1)
returnVar.Warnings(returnVar.Warnings.GetUpperBound(0)) = "Section: " & section.<header>.<title>.ToString & " , Item: " & item.<title>.ToString

Is there a way in Visual Studio (2008 or 2010, don't care right now which one) to show all warnings and/or messages in a project?Currently, I see all warnings and messages for all open files/documents. It would be handy if I could switch an option somewhere or something to show all the warnings and messages without needing to open everything.(I ask this as I'm developing a web site in VS that I have inherited from an ex-colleague and there's lots of messages per page regarding outdated attributes and the like)

I've just converted a project from .net 1.1 to 3.5, and I'm being given loads of warnings in the error list. The program compiles and runs ok, but I think I should probably try to at least reduce this large number of warnings.The trouble is that the error list only tells me about the first 102 warnings. Even when I fix one, the number stays at 102. So I have absolutely no idea how many warnings there actually are. If there are 150, I'd like to get rid of them. But if there are 10,000, I don't have the time to fix them all.Is there a way to see the actual total number of warnings?
