Re: Writing to the event

[Dean Fiala <df...@gmail.com>]

check out http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html
and
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html#trouble-EventLog

for the basics of configuring logging to the event log and some issues
trying to do it from and ASP.NET application.

The syntax you are proposing to use is a little dubious, but if you
just make a standard call to the logger, the message will get passed
properly.

Passing the eventID requires the use of a property, and there is an
extended discussion here...

and there is also an extension project that does this for you, though
you may have to rev it to the latest .NET version.
