Event Log Entry - excess info

[MattC]

I am able to successfully make entries into the Event Log for my Web App but
all the entries have this before my text:

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( Conquest ) 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:

My Text here.

How can I stop this being writen to the log entry.

TIA

How are you logging the entry?

Perhaps you should supply an event id?

public class EventLog

System.Diagnostics.EventLog myLog;
private string _logname = "";

public string LogName

#region Constructors

{
_logname = eventLogName;

if(!System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(_logname))
{
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(_logname, _logname);
}

myLog = new System.Diagnostics.EventLog(); //Create a new EventLog object
myLog.Source = _logname;
}
#endregion

#region Methods
public void WriteToLog(string text)
{
WriteToLog(text,System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error);
}
public void WriteToLog(string text, System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType
msgtype)
{
try

myLog.WriteEntry(text, msgtype);//Write the log
}
catch(Exception e)

text = e.Message;
//we should email to the system admin person

public class EventLog
{ ....
}

I recommend that you try adding an event id and see if that helps.

when you log events, the event log looks at the eventid, and in the assigned
message dll (see registery entry "EventMessageFile" for your application)
for a resource string with the same id as the message. this string is used
to format the eventlog message. the error you are getting means the resouce
file has no format string for entry 0.

Nope, now I get "The description for Event ID ( 7 ) in Source (....."

What is this message DLL it refers to?

Nope, now I get "The description for Event ID ( 7 ) in Source (....."

Just for fun, try ID 1000. That's a favorite of mine.

"The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source".....

What should the descriptions for the events look like and where are they
held??
