Hmm. As far as I'm aware 'Classic is the DisplayName for the 0x80000000000000 KeyWords value - which indicates that it is NOT null. Check again in the Event Viewer but look at the Detail/Xml View. You could also look at the Xml in code with loEventLogRecord.ToXml().

When you run the above code what is the Exception ?
