EventLog.LogNameFromSourceName(String, String) Method

Definition

Gets the name of the log to which the specified source is registered.

public:
 static System::String ^ LogNameFromSourceName(System::String ^ source, System::String ^ machineName);
public static string LogNameFromSourceName (string source, string machineName);
static member LogNameFromSourceName : string * string -> string
Public Shared Function LogNameFromSourceName (source As String, machineName As String) As String

Parameters

source
String

The name of the event source.

machineName
String

The name of the computer on which to look, or "." for the local computer.

Returns

The name of the log associated with the specified source in the registry.

Examples

The following example deletes a source from the local computer. The example determines the log from its source, and then deletes the log.

Note

More than one source might write to an event log. Before deleting a custom log, make sure there are no other sources writing to that log.

      // Find the log associated with this source.    
      logName = EventLog::LogNameFromSourceName( "MySource", "." );
      // Make sure the source is in the log we believe it to be in
      if (logName != "MyLog")
          return -1;
      // Delete the source and the log.
      EventLog::DeleteEventSource( "MySource" );
      EventLog::Delete( logName );
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} deleted.", logName );
   }

            logName = EventLog.LogNameFromSourceName("MySource", ".");
            // Make sure the source is in the log we believe it to be in.
            if (logName != "MyLog")
                return;
            // Delete the source and the log.
            EventLog.DeleteEventSource("MySource");
            EventLog.Delete(logName);

            Console.WriteLine(logName + " deleted.");
        }

Remarks

The event source indicates what logs the event. It is often the name of the application, or the name of a subcomponent of the application, if the application is large. Applications and services should write to the Application log or a custom log. Device drivers should write to the System log.

When you create a new source, which can only write to one log at a time, the system registers your application with the event log as a valid source of entries. The Source property can be any string, but the name cannot be used by other sources on the computer. An attempt to create a duplicated Source value throws an exception. However, a single event log can have many different sources writing to it.
