EventLog.EnableRaisingEvents Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the EventLog receives EntryWritten event notifications.

[Visual Basic]
Public Property EnableRaisingEvents As Boolean
[C#]
public bool EnableRaisingEvents {get; set;}
[C++]
public: __property bool get_EnableRaisingEvents();
public: __property void set_EnableRaisingEvents(bool);
[JScript]
public function get EnableRaisingEvents() : Boolean;
public function set EnableRaisingEvents(Boolean);

Property Value

true if the EventLog receives notification when an entry is written to the log; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The EnableRaisingEvents property determines whether the EventLog raises events when entries are written to the log. When the property is true, components receiving the EntryWritten event will receive notification any time an entry is written to the log specified in the Log property. If EnableRaisingEvents is false, no events are raised.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example handles an EntryWritten event.
