Hi,
I am having a problem with getting My.Log.WriteException to write to the
Event Log in ASP.Net 2.0 with a web service.
When an error occurs, My.Log.WriteException doesn't log anything to the
Event Log. Played around with it and ended up adding the following listeners
to catch and write to the event log by adding the following
code in the
web.config:
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<!-- This section defines the logging configuration for
My.Application.Log -->
<source name="DefaultSource" switchName="DefaultSwitch">
<listeners>
<add name="FileLog"/>
<!-- Uncomment the below section to write to the Application Event
Log -->
<add name="EventLog"/>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<switches>
<add name="DefaultSwitch" value="Information" />
</switches>
<sharedListeners>
<add name="FileLog"
type="
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener,
Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
initializeData="FileLogWriter"/>
<!-- Uncomment the below section and replace APPLICATION_NAME with the
name of your application to write to the Application Event Log -->
<add name="EventLog" type="
System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener,
System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
initializeData="My Web Service"/>
</sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
Now My.Log.WriteException will work on my dev machine and write to the event
log. But when I deploy to the
web server and an error occurs, it doesn't log
the error and it passes back the following error to me:
Server was unable to process request. ---> Exception has been thrown by the
target of an invocation. ---> Could not create
