Reading EventLogQuery for a remote computer?

Question

I use this code to read my own event log from my win7 computer.

EventLogQuery eventsQuery = new EventLogQuery("Security", PathType.LogName, queryString); eventsQuery.ReverseDirection = true; EventLogReader logReader = new EventLogReader(eventsQuery); 

However - I need to read EventLog for a remote computer (Lan is the same domain)

How can i do this?

EventLogQuery query = new EventLogQuery("Application", PathType.LogName, queryString); query.Session = session; try { EventLogReader logReader = new EventLogReader(query); // Display event info DisplayEventAndLogInformation(logReader); } catch (EventLogException e) { Console.WriteLine("Could not query the remote computer! " + e.Message); return; } }
