| I've read several threads talking about the EventLog.SourceExists method
and
| having to give permissions to the account under which the ASP.NET helper
| process is running.
|
| I thought I'd try a different approach, but after reading all the docs I
| don't understand why this isn't working:
|
| RegistryPermission permit = new RegistryPermission(
| RegistryPermissionAccess.AllAccess,
| @"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog" );
| permit.Assert();
| if (isAppEventLogEnabled && EventLog.SourceExists(appEventSource,
| appEventLogServerName))
| EventLog.WriteEntry(appEventSource, asMsg, aEntryType, (int)aeEvent);
| RegistryPermission.RevertAssert();
|
| The first two lines execute without throwing any error, but I continue to
| get a SecurityException when it executes the EventLog.SourceExists.
|
| As I said, I've read the threads and I know the suggested solution(s), so
I
| don't need assistance on how to get this to work, I need to understand why
| it doesn't.
|
| Thanks.
