Public Constructors

EventLog Constructor

Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the EventLog class.

Public Properties

Container (inherited from Component)	Gets the IContainer that contains the Component.
EnableRaisingEvents	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the EventLog receives EntryWritten event notifications.
Entries	Gets the contents of the event log.
Log	Gets or sets the name of the log to read from or write to.
LogDisplayName	Gets the event log's friendly name.
MachineName	Gets or sets the name of the computer on which to read or write events.
Site (inherited from Component)	Gets or sets the ISite of the Component.
Source	Gets or sets the source name to register and use when writing to the event log.
SynchronizingObject	Gets or sets the object used to marshal the event handler calls issued as a result of an EventLog entry written event.

Public Methods

BeginInit	Begins the initialization of an EventLog used on a form or used by another component. The initialization occurs at runtime.
Clear	Removes all entries from the event log.
Close	Closes the event log and releases read and write handles.
CreateEventSource	Overloaded. Establishes an application as able to write event information to a particular log on the system.
CreateObjRef (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.
Delete	Overloaded. Removes a log resource.
DeleteEventSource	Overloaded. Removes an application's event source registration from the event log.
Dispose (inherited from Component)	Overloaded. Releases the resources used by the Component.
EndInit	Ends the initialization of an EventLog used on a form or by another component. The initialization occurs at runtime.
Equals (inherited from Object)	Overloaded. Determines whether two Object instances are equal.
Exists	Overloaded. Determines whether the specified log exists.
GetEventLogs	Overloaded. Creates an array of the event logs.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.
GetType (inherited from Object)	Gets the Type of the current instance.
InitializeLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.
LogNameFromSourceName	Gets the name of the log to which the specified source is registered.
SourceExists	Overloaded. Searches a computer's registry for a given event source.
ToString (inherited from Object)	Returns a String that represents the current Object.
WriteEntry	Overloaded. Writes an entry in the event log.

Public Events

Disposed (inherited from Component)	Adds an event handler to listen to the Disposed event on the component.
EntryWritten	Occurs when an entry is written to an event log on the local computer.

Protected Properties

DesignMode (inherited from Component)	Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode.
Events (inherited from Component)	Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component.

Protected Methods

Dispose	Overloaded. Overridden. See Component.Dispose.
Finalize (inherited from Component)	Overridden. Releases unmanaged resources and performs other cleanup operations before the Component is reclaimed by garbage collection. In C# and C++, finalizers are expressed using destructor syntax.
GetService (inherited from Component)	Returns an object that represents a service provided by the Component or by its Container.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
