Event Logs

Question

I would like to keep track event logs in my asp.net website..

i.e. Writing exception errror and other information..

I'm very new to this, If somebody explains me how to : Create Event Source, EventEntry, Write Entry and etc would be more useful..

Regards

Lokesh

Writing to Windows event log is quite easily achieved: using System.Diagnostics; ... // Create the source if it does not already exist. if (!EventLog.SourceExists( MySource )){ EventLog.CreateEventSource( MySource  MyNewLog ); Console.WriteLine( CreatingEventSource ); } // Create an EventLog instance and assign its source. EventLog myLog = new EventLog(); myLog.Source = MySource ; // Write an informational entry to the event log. myLog.WriteEntry( Writing to event log. ); More info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.eventlog(VS.80).aspx
