I would like to backup/copy an event log then save the contents as text so i can input this data to a database.
Reading around it seems i need to know WMI to do this which i dont really know. how i could do this or provide some links to get started?
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.

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, _

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.
View 2 RepliesI'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.

[Code]...
so i have a quite huge program. but lets say i have one label. and i want to save that. i have the code and everything for saving the text of the label. now i want to assign ctrl+s to automatically save the labels text once pressed instead of going through a menu to choose save.this is like a regular texteditor where u press ctrl+s and it saves.
ive used this
If (e.KeyCode = e.Control & Keys.S) Then
MessageBox.Show("Ctrl+S pressed")
End If
and
[code]....
but it doesn't do anything once pressed.im also using the keydown declaration for the form.

I have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:
Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.
Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:
I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.
I'm trying to enter code into a button to save a text file from a text box.The text box is called txtEditor, I have created an open file button using the openFileDialog1 and have been successful with this I just can't get the saveFileDialog1 to work.
