Write to EventLog in .Net Core

Question

I need a way to write to the windows event viewer in my application using dnx. But the class is EventLognot available in the namespace System.Diagnostics, so I'm stuck. Is there any other way to record in EventViewer?

Answer 1

Add from NuGet Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventLog Version 2.1.1

CM> Install-Package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventLog -Version 2.1.1

Include namespace Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventLogin fileProgram.cs

This solved my problem.

Answer 2
