Hi Tim,

Thank you for posting.

From your description, I understanding you're using the EventLog class to
write entries into custom eventlog in .net 1.1 application. However, after
wrting the log correctly, you found that you can not view the custom log's
properties(size, modified...) in computer management console, correct?

Based on my local test, the custom log created or write through the
EventLog class should populated the specific properties correctly. So I
think it is likely a machine specific issue. Have you tried the application
or a very simple evetlog writing code snippet as below on some other
machines:

=================
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if(!EventLog.SourceExists("MySource"))
{
EventLog.CreateEventSource("MySource", "MyNewLog1");
Console.WriteLine("CreatingEventSource");
}

// Create an EventLog instance and assign its source.
EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
myLog.Source = "MySource";

// Write an informational entry to the event log.
myLog.WriteEntry("Writing to event log.");

}
============

Or does it work if first create the customlog externally and then use
eventlog class to write into it?

Please feel free to post here if there is anything I missed.
