Reading The Event Log On a Remote System

[Greg Smith]

I have an old application that analyzes the data in the event log on one of
our servers. I would like to convert it to C#. Does anybody know of any
examples of reading the event log on a remote system in C#.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Greg,

You can use the EventLog class to read the event log. There is a
constructor which takes two strings. The first is the name of the event log
to read. The second is the name of the machine to open the event log on.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. This was helpful but due to the fact that I am
still fairly new to C# I would really benefit from looking at some sample
code. Do you know of any?

Only sample code I know about is in this article

815314 HOW TO: Manage Event Logs Using Visual C# .NET
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=815314

It may be what you need. Don't know what else might be available out on the many DOTNet sites on the web...
