Examples

The following code example writes an informational event entry, and then reuses the EventInstance to write an entry for a warning event to an existing event log. The event message text is specified using a resource identifier in a message resource file. The code example assumes that the corresponding message resource file has been registered for the source.

// Ensure that the source has already been registered using
// EventLogInstaller or EventLog.CreateEventSource.
String^ sourceName = "SampleApplicationSource";
if ( EventLog::SourceExists( sourceName ) )
{
   // Define an informational event with no category.
   // The message identifier corresponds to the message text in the
   // message resource file defined for the source.
   EventInstance ^ myEvent = gcnew EventInstance( UpdateCycleCompleteMsgId,0 );

   // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
   EventLog::WriteEvent( sourceName, myEvent, 0 );

   // Reuse the event data instance for another event entry.
   // Set the entry category and message identifiers for
   // the appropriate resource identifiers in the resource files
   // for the registered source.  Set the event type to Warning.
   myEvent->CategoryId = RefreshCategoryMsgId;
   myEvent->EntryType = EventLogEntryType::Warning;
   myEvent->InstanceId = ServerConnectionDownMsgId;

   // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
   // Insert the machine name into the event message text.
   array<String^>^ss = {Environment::MachineName};
   EventLog::WriteEvent( sourceName, myEvent, ss );
}
else
{
   Console::WriteLine( "Warning - event source {0} not registered", sourceName );
}

// Ensure that the source has already been registered using
// EventLogInstaller or EventLog.CreateEventSource.

string sourceName = "SampleApplicationSource";
if(EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName))
{
    // Define an informational event with no category.
    // The message identifier corresponds to the message text in the
    // message resource file defined for the source.
    EventInstance myEvent = new EventInstance(UpdateCycleCompleteMsgId, 0);

    // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent);

    // Reuse the event data instance for another event entry.
    // Set the entry category and message identifiers for
    // the appropriate resource identifiers in the resource files
    // for the registered source.  Set the event type to Warning.

    myEvent.CategoryId = RefreshCategoryMsgId;
    myEvent.EntryType = EventLogEntryType.Warning;
    myEvent.InstanceId = ServerConnectionDownMsgId;

    // Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    // Insert the machine name into the event message text.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent, Environment.MachineName);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Warning - event source {0} not registered",
        sourceName);
}
' Ensure that the source has already been registered using
' EventLogInstaller or EventLog.CreateEventSource.
Dim sourceName as String = "SampleApplicationSource"
If EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName)
    
    ' Define an informational event with no category.
    ' The message identifier corresponds to the message text in the
    ' message resource file defined for the source.
    Dim myEvent As EventInstance = New EventInstance(UpdateCycleCompleteMsgId, 0)
    ' Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent)

    ' Reuse the event data instance for another event entry.
    ' Set the entry category and message identifiers for
    ' the appropriate resource identifiers in the resource files
    ' for the registered source.  Set the event type to Warning.

    myEvent.CategoryId = RefreshCategoryMsgId
    myEvent.EntryType = EventLogEntryType.Warning
    myEvent.InstanceId = ServerConnectionDownMsgId

    ' Write the event to the event log using the registered source.
    ' Insert the machine name into the event message text.
    EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myEvent, Environment.MachineName)

Else 
    Console.WriteLine("Warning - event source {0} not registered", _
        sourceName)
End If

The code example uses the following message text file, built into the resource library EventLogMsgs.dll. A message text file is the source from which the message resource file is created. The message text file defines the resource identifiers and text for the category, event message, and parameter insertion strings.

Remarks

Use EventInstance to write an event log entry with a resource identifier rather than a string value. To write an event log entry, initialize the InstanceId property and pass the instance to the WriteEvent method. The Event Viewer uses the instance identifier to find and display the corresponding string from the localized resource file based on current language settings. You must register the event source with the corresponding resource file before you write events using resource identifiers.

When writing events, you can set the EntryType property to specify the icon that the Event Viewer displays for the entry. You can also specify a CategoryId property to specify the category that the Event Viewer displays for the entry.

The Event Viewer uses the category to filter events written by an event source. The Event Viewer can display the category as a numeric value, or it can use the category as a resource identifier to display a localized category string.

To display localized category strings in the Event Viewer, you must use an event source configured with a category resource file, and set the CategoryId to a resource identifier in the category resource file. If the event source does not have a configured category resource file, or the specified CategoryId does not index a string in the category resource file, and then the Event Viewer displays the numeric category value for that entry. Configure the category resource file, along with the number of category strings in the resource file, using the EventLogInstaller or the EventSourceCreationData class.

You must register a source for an event log before using EventInstance to write an event with the WriteEvent method. The source must be configured for writing localized entries to the log and the source must define at least a message resource file.

Create the new event source during the installation of your application. This allows time for the operating system to refresh its list of registered event sources and their configurations. If the operating system has not refreshed its list of event sources, and you attempt to write an event with the new source, the write operation will fail. You can configure a new source using an EventLogInstaller, or using the CreateEventSource method. You must have administrative rights on the computer to create a new event source.

For details about defining event messages and building event log resource files, see the Message Compiler article in the Platform SDK documentation.
