Meh, that previous post was kind of too simple etc, so thought I’d wrap up the logic in a nice class here you go.
It ccouldn’t be easier to call one example to write exceptions is
[codesyntax lang=”csharp”]
EventLogger.Write(ex.Message, “error”);
[/codesyntax]
The name of the assembly is captured by reflection to identify it from other applications in the event log.
[codesyntax lang=”csharp”]
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;
namespace utilities
{
public static class EventLogger
{
/// <summary>
/// Write entry to application event log
/// </summary>
/// <param name="message">Text to write to log</param>
/// <param name="type">"information" / "error" / "success" defaults to information (optional)</param>
public static void Write(string message, string type = "information")
{
var applicationName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name;
var sType = EventLogEntryType.Information;
switch (type)
{
case "error":
sType = EventLogEntryType.Error;
break;
case "success":
sType = EventLogEntryType.SuccessAudit;
break;
}
if (!EventLog.SourceExists(applicationName))
EventLog.CreateEventSource(applicationName, "Application");
EventLog.WriteEntry(applicationName, message,
sType, 0);
}
}
}
