I am able to create new sources using CreateEventSource.
I can call GetEventLogs, I can delete sources, I can see
if sources exist BUT, as soon as I try a "WriteEntry", I
get an exception:

{System.InvalidOperationException}
[System.InvalidOperationException]:
{System.InvalidOperationException}
HelpLink: Nothing
InnerException: {System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception}

I don't quite understand. I am running .NET v.1.1.4322.
I am developing using VS .NET 2003. I am running Windows
2003 Server Enterprise.
 
What account is your app running under? What are the permissions for this
account?

Kevin, we're having the same problem here. The ASP.NET application,
currently installed on Windows 2003 Server, used to work fine on
Windows 2000.

We've set the Impersonate parameter to TRUE.

hi guys,
you have to use "regedt32" (not regedit!!!) and give to the ASPNET user (or
the impersontated user if you use impersonation I suppose) the appropriate
rights to the EventLogs you want in the registry

don't have the info handy at the moment, try searching for "regedt32"
"asp.net" "log" using Copernic Agent Basic (it's free) from www.copernic.com

if you can't still find it, e-mail me privately and I can post more on this
thread searching my favorites entries

I followed steps in
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Sept/ErrorLoggingInASPNet.asp
I added my user (because we are impersonating) and ASPNet user with Full
Control over this registry setting.
Nothing different happened

Any idea?

Thanks

Lucas

It is running impersonation with Admin priviledges. The
problem I am having here is that I can actually create
Event SOURCES but then can't actually create entries.
Don't these 2 things involve similar permissions?
