I am using a custom EventLog for my Windows service. The service creates the event source after installtion. I don't have any problems.
However, I have setup my service so that I can run it from the IDE using the following mechanism:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(UnhandledException);
string firstArgument = string.Empty;
if (args.Length > 0)
firstArgument = args[0].ToUpperInvariant();
if (string.Compare(firstArgument, "-CONSOLE", true) == 0)
{
new SchedulerService().RunConsole(args);
}
else
{
ServiceBase[] services = new ServiceBase[] { new SchedulerService() };
ServiceBase.Run(services);
}
}
When writing to the event log, it seems to write my custom event log AND the application log. How can I prevent this from occurring?
Below is the code I am using to write to the event log: (The EventLog app setting is the same for the source and name)
using (System.Diagnostics.EventLog eventLog =
new EventLog(
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EventLog"], ".",
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EventLog"]))
{
eventLog.WriteEntry(msg, entryType);
}
