To retrieve EventLogEntry based on the source

.NET Base Class Library

brother14th

The following are the codes I use to retrieve the EventLogEntry based on the source instead of log.

Is there a much simpler way

EventLog cLog=new EventLog("Application");

foreach (EventLogEntry entry in cLog.Entries)

{

if(entry.Source=="C# application")

Console.Write(entry.Message);

}

Not really. Internally the enumerator uses the underlying Win32 API to retrieve the log entries. The API does not allow for filtering. You could however wrap the above code in a simple function to give the illusion of filtering. Clients can then pass the source and log as input and get back only the events that match. You need to be a little careful though as there can be a lot of entries. The class itself pulls the data back when requested rather than caching the entries internally. You should follow a similar approach.
