EventLog security problem

[Carlo Razzeto]

I would like to have my ASP.Net web application register an EventLog in my
system and write all application errors there. My problem is when my
application hits the line:

EventLog.CreateEventSource("JobSite", "JobSite EventLog")

I get an unhandled security exception. It explains that my application does
not have sufficiant privilages to create a new log. I have looked through my
VB.Net/.Net Framework Reference (Programming Visual Basic.Net) and the .Net
Framework SDK but I can't find any information on giving ASP.Net
applications the privialges they need. Any help would be appriciated,
thanks.

Hi Carlo,

Yup, because aspnet user account (under which the asp.net app is run) is
very restricted.
Check the workaround:
