Mark,

What trust level is set for ASP.NET on your machine? (You can check this is
in the %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.<build>\CONFIG\web.config
file.) If it's not full trust, then you'll need to ensure that both your
ASP.NET application and your other assembly are granted the necessary
EventLogPermission under the policy specified in the appropriate
web_<level>trust.config file.

That said, writing to the event log from a web application is not
necessarily such a wonderful idea in the first place. If feasible, it might
be a better solution to log to a different target rather than adjusting your
application's permissions to allow writing to the event log.

HTH,
Nicole
