We use Microsoft's Enterprise Library (4.1) and frequently have the following problem:
[ArgumentException: Log entry string is too long. A string written to the event log cannot exceed 32766 characters.]
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.InternalWriteEvent(UInt32 eventID, UInt16 category, EventLogEntryType type, String[] strings, Byte[] rawData, String currentMachineName) +1005489

Unfortunately the DefaultPublisher
's WriteToLog
method doesn't do any bounds checking before writing to the EventLog so our original Stacktrace is lost.
Is there a way to work around this (preferably by configuration) and still use the DefaultPublisher
?
