EventSourceCreationData(String, String) Constructor

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the EventSourceCreationData class with a specified event source and event log name.

public:
 EventSourceCreationData(System::String ^ source, System::String ^ logName);
public EventSourceCreationData (string source, string logName);
new System.Diagnostics.EventSourceCreationData : string * string -> System.Diagnostics.EventSourceCreationData
Public Sub New (source As String, logName As String)

Parameters

source
String

The name to register with the event log as a source of entries.

logName
String

The name of the log to which entries from the source are written.

Examples

The following code example determines whether the event source named SampleApplicationSource is registered on the local computer. If the event source does not exist, the example sets the message resource file for the source and creates the new event source. Finally, the code example sets the localized display name for the event log, using the resource identifier value in DisplayNameMsgId and the resource file path in messageFile.

void CreateEventSourceSample1( String^ messageFile )
{
   String^ myLogName;
   String^ sourceName = "SampleApplicationSource";
   
   // Create the event source if it does not exist.
   if (  !EventLog::SourceExists( sourceName ) )
   {
      
      // Create a new event source for the custom event log
      // named "myNewLog."  
      myLogName = "myNewLog";
      EventSourceCreationData ^ mySourceData = gcnew EventSourceCreationData( sourceName,myLogName );
      
      // Set the message resource file that the event source references.
      // All event resource identifiers correspond to text in this file.
      if (  !System::IO::File::Exists( messageFile ) )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Input message resource file does not exist - {0}", messageFile );
         messageFile = "";

         // file for message text, category text, and

The code example uses the following message text file, built into the resource library EventLogMsgs.dll. A message text file is the source from which the message resource file is created. The message text file defines the resource identifiers and text for the category, event message, and parameter insertion strings.

Remarks

To write entries to an event log, you must first create an event source for the event log. To register a new source, initialize an EventSourceCreationData instance, configure the instance properties for your application, and call the EventLog.CreateEventSource(EventSourceCreationData) method. After the source is registered, you can write entries from the source using the WriteEvent or WriteEntry methods.

You can register the event source with localized resources for your event category and message strings. Your application can write event log entries using resource identifiers, rather than specifying the actual string. The Event Viewer uses the resource identifier to find and display the corresponding string from the localized resource file based on current language settings. You can register a separate file for event categories, messages, and parameter insertion strings, or you can register the same resource file for all three types of strings. Use the CategoryCount, CategoryResourceFile, MessageResourceFile, and ParameterResourceFile properties to configure the source to write localized entries to the event log. If your application writes string values directly to the event log, you do not need to set these properties.

The source must be configured either for writing localized entries or for writing direct strings. If your application writes entries using both resource identifiers and string values, you must register two separate sources. For example, configure one source with resource files, and then use that source in the WriteEvent method to write entries using resource identifiers to the event log. Then create a different source without resource files and use that source in the WriteEntry method to write strings directly to the event log.

The following table shows initial property values for an EventSourceCreationData.

Property Initial Value
Source The source parameter.
LogName The logName parameter.
MachineName The local computer (".").
CategoryCount Zero
CategoryResourceFile null (Nothing in Visual Basic).
MessageResourceFile null (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ParameterResourceFile null (Nothing in Visual Basic).
