Event Log (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

The event logging system provides a standard way for the OS, OS components, and applications to record important hardware and software events. The event log is a general-purpose tool that centralizes all the functionality necessary for creating events, collecting data, and logging information. Windows Embedded Compact 2013 supports a subset of the Windows Events APIs.

Events are typically used for troubleshooting application and driver software.

Windows Embedded Compact 2013 does not provide a common event-log service. To use event logs, you must write your own provider and consumer. For details, see Providing Events and Consuming Events.
