Hi,

If you want to write log into system event log, then try

Code:

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry

Hi Karthik,

Create a new source where the log has to be written.

        If Not System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists("ABC") Then
            System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource("ABC ", "TestLog")
        End If
        System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("TestLog", "Test Message")

Hope this will work. You can see the log written using the tool EventViewer from the location Control Panel\Administrative Tools\EventViewer.
