I am trying to write to the event log with the My.Log.WriteEntry("MyMessage")

The call does nothing. I think that I need to set up the Listeners in the
config file. Is there any information on how to set up the listener for the
Application log and how to setup new logs for the app.

Thank you,

Thank you for the reply.

I now get a error in the application event log.

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ContentDepot ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able
to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and
Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Test
Information Message.

I have asked this question before and did not understand the answers. This
is a plain install of windows server 2003 using Visual Studio 2005 and visual
basic for the development environment . The application is a asp.net
application running on IIS 6.0

The entries in the web.config are:

<system.diagnostics>

<sources>
<!-- This section defines the logging configuration for
My.Application.Log -->
<source name="DefaultSource" switchName="DefaultSwitch">
<listeners>
<add name="EventLog"/>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<switches>
<add name="DefaultSwitch" value="Information" />
</switches>
<sharedListeners>
<add name="EventLog"
type="System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
initializeData="DDapp"/>
</sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
