Encapsulates a single record in the event log. This class cannot be inherited.

'Usage
Dim instance As EventLogEntry

Public NotInheritable Class EventLogEntry _

Implements ISerializable
You usually will not create instances of EventLogEntry directly when working with the EventLog class. The Entries member of the EventLog class contains a collection of EventLogEntry instances, which you iterate over when reading by using the EventLogEntryCollection..::.Item class index member.
Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition Platform Note: Event logs are not supported on Windows 98 or Windows Millennium.
The following code example demonstrates the use of the EventLogEntry class. In this example, a switch statement uses console input to search for event log entries for the specified event type. If a match is found, log entry source information is displayed at the console.
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Class MyEventlogClass
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim myEventType As String = Nothing
' Associate the instance of 'EventLog' with local System Log.
Dim myEventLog As New EventLog("System", ".")
Console.WriteLine("1:Error")
Console.WriteLine("2:Information")
Console.WriteLine("3:Warning")
Console.WriteLine("Select the Event Type")
Dim myOption As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine())
Select Case myOption
Case 1
myEventType = "Error"
Case 2
myEventType = "Information"
Case 3
myEventType = "Warning"
Case Else
End Select
Dim myLogEntryCollection As EventLogEntryCollection = myEventLog.Entries
Dim myCount As Integer = myLogEntryCollection.Count
' Iterate through all 'EventLogEntry' instances in 'EventLog'.
Dim i As Integer
For i = myCount - 1 To -1 Step -1
Dim myLogEntry As EventLogEntry = myLogEntryCollection(i)
' Select the entry having desired EventType.
If myLogEntry.EntryType.ToString().Equals(myEventType) Then
' Display Source of the event.
Console.WriteLine(myLogEntry.Source + " was the source of last "& _
"event of type " & myLogEntry.EntryType.ToString())
Return
End If
Next i
