>I implemented logging in my app a couple of years ago. I do not recollect having to Create an event source. However, the EventLog.Source Property documentation implies that you need to call EventLog.CreateEventSource to add your source. See the Remarks section in EventLog.Source Property.
I was trying to create Event Source but am getting error too. I don't understand the syntax of this method. Here is what I tried:
string MyAppName = "MyAppName";
EventLog.CreateEventSource( MyAppName, MyAppName);
I know this does not look right but I found a document on the web that has this syntax, two parameters and both are the same.
