Any Windows EventLog expert?

[Guest]

Hi

I have the code as below


if(!EventLog.SourceExists("XXXBspMode1")

EventLog.CreateEventSource("XXXBspMode1", "XXXMode1")


myLog = new EventLog()
myLog.Log = "XXXMode1"
myLog.Source = "XXXBspMode1"

myLog.WriteEntry("XXXBspMode1 started", EventLogEntryType.Information, 1, 0)


It looks simple rite? But when I try to run it, I will get the following error, but if I change the name of the source and the log, the error will not appear anymore, what is the problem, how can I solve the problem if I insist to use the XXX as the names? Thanks


Error: System.ArgumentException: The source 'MasBspMode1' is not registered in

perties must be matched, or you may set Log to the empty string, and it will au

You might want to add this before setting up the mylo

myLog.SynchronizingObject = this;

What if I am NOT writing this is in a Window form?

The compiler keeps complaining 'cannot implicitly convert type "MyClass" to "System.ComponentModel.ISynchronizeInvoke"

I am using a normal class library class.....

Thank
