Hello.

I am writing my first ASP.NET web app, to which I have added an event log. The event log works flawlessly from one page in the app, but I get an "Access is denied" error when trying to write to the log from another page in the same application. Do I need to add a separate event log to each page in the app? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Donna

How are you creating an event log? Are you writing to a text file, or inserting into a database table? In either case, I would create a function in a class to do this to avoid repetative code.

I created a log using the event log icon in the toolbox and using the WriteEvent method. However, I like the idea of using a table better. So, I am going to use a Try...Catch block and write a stored procedure to save the error string to a table. I think this will make tracking and repairing errors easier for all involved. Thanks for your reply.:)

   Having it in the database also makes it good for reporting and viewing errors easily.
