I am trying to set up the Health Monitoring System (p.109) but I'm confused as to how to create the .dll file. Please could someone explain in a bit more detail.

Thanks

I can't determine which DLL you're asking about? Microsoft has provided everything you need - it's in the GAC. You set up your SQL Server with the objects it needs, and then you configure the events you want to log using web.config.

Hi englere,
The dll is CustomEvents.dll which contains a class WebCustomEvent. I'm not sure how to make this.

That's in project TBHCustomEvents in the code download. It's a stand-alone project that creates a DLL that gets deployed in the bin folder of the site.

You need to study the code download because this book does not have step-by-step instructions for every little task. This is mostly an architecture and infrastructure book.

Thanks Eric, I overlooked the source in the download code. It's working now.
Cheers,
Simon

How do I deploy it with a different folder name? Just copy\paste and edit the naming convention?

I don't understand the question - are you saying you don't want to deploy to the bin folder? If so, why not?
