Hi,
You need to create an object of System.Diagnostics.EventLog. This will enable you to create the event log and write to it.
The sample code in C# for it could be
System.Diagnostics.EventLog eventLog =

new System.Diagnostics.EventLog();

// Create the source if it does not already exist

if( !System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(

this._EventLogSource) )

{

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(

this._EventLogSource, this._EventLogName);

}

// Code for writing to event log.
