Examples

The following code example sets the installation properties for a new event source. The code example sets the event source name, event log name, and resource file for localized event text.

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

Use the CategoryCount and CategoryResourceFile properties to write events with localized category strings. The Event Viewer displays the category for an event entry if you supply a category when you write the event. Event log categories are application-defined strings that help filter events, or provide information about an event. For example, your application might have separate categories for different components or different operations.

Event categories are optional; if your application does not use categories, do not set the CategoryCount and CategoryResourceFile properties.

For details about defining event messages and building event resource files, see the Message Compiler article in the Platform SDK documentation.
