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.
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?
I'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.
I 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.
I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to write an event to a remote computers event log. I am able to create a new source and create a new eventlog but I am unable to actually write a new event to the log. Here is a snippet of my code...
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click Dim source As String = "Please provide a source for the event." Dim eventLogSelectError As String = "Please select and eventlog to write the evnt to." Dim messageTxtError As String = "Please provide a message for the event."
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
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)
Any example to catch errors and log them to the Eventlog? I would like to catch any error and pass them to my WriteToEventLog function. If I use On Error , how could I catch the Error and pass it to my WriteToEventLog function? I would like to catch the actual error
Public Function WriteToEventLog(ByVal entry As String, Optional ByVal appName As String = "CompanyName", Optional ByVal eventType As EventLogEntryType = EventLogEntryType.Information, Optional ByVal logName As String = "ProductName") As Boolean [Code] .....
My applicaiton makes use of the Event Log to log exceptions and Informational messages, however when logged in as a Standard User who has limited access, I am receiving the Exception[code]...
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]...
I 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.
I have been trying to implement the jQuery weekcalendar using .net. What I can't seem to figure out is why weekcalendar states events.events is undefined after I make an ajax call to a webmethod I created which returns JSON. Below is the relevant code:
I created a control that has picture box control docked within it. This control allows me to "animate" the image by swapping them out by setting the interval to swap them at. I want to use this control kind of like an animated icon within a application, but because the picture box is docked, the control I created won't respond to the events, MouseHover specifically. [Code]
I don't know how to use these events and get the appropriate values out of these events ....here is some code that I have copied from a website...
[code] Private Function MouseHookProc(ByVal nCode As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByRef lParam As MSLLHOOKSTRUCT) As Integer Try If nCode >= 0 Then Select Case wParam
is there a difference between shared events and non-shared events?
Private Shared Event EVENT_something_changed() Private Sub SUB_handles_something_changed() Handles Me.EVENT_something_changed End Sub
no errors with this code, but how is Me possible since the Event is shared. it seems like there's no errors between switching shared with un-shared and switching Me with Myclass, all 4 combinations seem to work, isn't that weird
I'd like to be able to access the events in a C# DLL so I can display a Progress Bar as the file analysis is carried out - the DLL is written by a third party using VB.Net.
Details C# FileAnaysis.DLL Contains a public class FileManager which contains 2 public subs public void ProgAnalysis(string fileName) public void ProgAnalysis(string fileName, ProgressChangedEventHandler progressChangedEventHandler, RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler runWorkerCompletedEventHandler)
How do I access the events generated by second sub in Vb.Net?
I find that I write a lot of code within my classes to keep properties in sync with each other. I've read about Events in Classes, but have not been able to wrap my head around how to make them work for what I'm looking for.For example, in this one I always want to keep myColor up to date with any change whatsoever in any or all of the Red, Green or Blue properties.
Class myColors Private Property Red As Byte Private Property Green As Byte
[code]....
If one or more of those changes, I want myColor to be updated. Easy enough as above, but is there a way to work with events that would automatically do this so I don't have to put myColor = Color.FromArgb(Red, Green, Blue) in every sub routine?
Is it possible to get an asp.net code (preferably vb.net) to query a sql server for results, but for it to somehow wait for a response from the server when a change is found in the records without resorting to server intensive loops?For example, I want to write a query which checks the date of a record, if the date is different from last known date, only then should the query return the results.
I am a VB programmer working my way into C#. I learned how to create and raise events in vb and am finding that it isnt done the same way in C#. Has anybody come across an article that will help me to understand how to do events in C# and maybe explain why it is different in VB.
