EventLogReporter

C# class that reports a message to the Windows event log (for services without a user interface).

Namespace

au.util.io

Hierarchy

• System.Object
  • au.util.io.Reporter
    • au.util.io.EventLogReporter

Usage

Services can create an object from this class and use it to report messages into the Windows Application Event Log. The object should be of type Reporter even though the EventLogReporter constructor is used, in order to more easily switch between other types of reporters.
