You have to set up the custom eventlog in advance (ie. manually)
1. START - RUN - "regedit"

2. Under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application

3. Right-click Application and select NEW then KEY

4. Enter "MyNetLog" or whatever your log will be called and press ENTER

5. Next Right-click on the new key and select NEW then STRING VALUE

6. Enter "EventMessageFile" and press ENTER

7. Double-click the new string value to add data

8. Add the path to your .NET directory and the file EventLogMessages.dll

It will look like this-
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\EventLogMessages.dll

Now the ASPNET account can access this log to write/read event entries.
