EventLogReader Class
Enables you to read events from an event log based on an event query. The events that are read by this object are returned as EventRecord objects.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | EventLogReader(EventLogQuery^) | Initializes a new instance of the EventLogReader class by specifying an event query. |
![]() | EventLogReader(EventLogQuery^, EventBookmark^) | Initializes a new instance of the EventLogReader class by specifying an event query and a bookmark that is used as starting position for the query. |
![]() | EventLogReader(String^) | Initializes a new instance of the EventLogReader class by specifying an active event log to retrieve events from. |
![]() | EventLogReader(String^, PathType) | Initializes a new instance of the EventLogReader class by specifying the name of an event log to retrieve events from or the path to a log file to retrieve events from. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CancelReading() | Cancels the current query operation. |
![]() | Dispose() | Releases all the resources used by this object. |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by this object, and optionally releases the managed resources. |
![]() | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | ReadEvent() | Reads the next event that is returned from the event query in this object. |
![]() | ReadEvent(TimeSpan) | Reads the next event that is returned from the event query in this object. |
![]() | Seek(EventBookmark^) | Changes the position in the event stream where the next event that is read will come from by specifying a bookmark event. No events logged before the bookmark event will be retrieved. |
![]() | Seek(EventBookmark^, Int64) | Changes the position in the event stream where the next event that is read will come from by specifying a bookmark event and an offset number of events from the bookmark. No events logged before the bookmark plus the offset will be retrieved. |
![]() | Seek(SeekOrigin, Int64) | Changes the position in the event stream where the next event that is read will come from by specifying a starting position and an offset from the starting position. No events logged before the starting position plus the offset will be retrieved. |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
