Corporate library not registered

Question

I register in the event log using Ent Lib 5. When I run the application on my machine with Windows 7, everything works. But when I deploy it to WindowsServer 2008, it just stops logging. It does not write anything to the event log. Both machines have Ent Lib 5 installed.

And what do you think? What could be the problem?

Answer 1

This is a common situation when logging into the Windows event log. This is probably due to the fact that the event source is not registered on your Windows Server 2008. When you run it on your dev machine, you (like most developers) have administrator privileges, and the .NET framework automatically creates event sources in the first time you use them. Any application without administrator rights cannot create an event source, and therefore registration fails. The application continues to work because the philosophy of the logging unit should not be distracting, but nothing is logged.

When you deploy your application, you must specify an installer class to create event sources. For development, a quick solution is to use Windows PowerShell. Launch the advanced PowerShell process and use the following command:

[System.Diagnostics.EventLog]::CreateEventSource(sourceName, logName)
