|I have a piece of code (written is Visual Studio 2005) that is only reading

just

|
| int numberOfEntries = myEventLog.Entries.Count;
| if (numberOfEntries > 0) ...
|
| However, when run under Windows Vista I get the error "Requested registry
| access is not allowed." This error occurs when the first line of code is
| executed.
|
| I tried adding the command below before the count is retrieved but it
didn't
| work.
|
| EventLogPermission elp = new
| EventLogPermission(EventLogPermissionAccess.Administrator, ".");
|

with

Because of User Account Control (UAC) in Vista, the application requires
elevated permissions to get at the Security data. Please read this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/reference/security/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/accprotvista.asp,
especially the part that talks about an assembly manifest.
Note also that you should post Vista related questions to the Microsoft
forums at http://forums.microsoft.com
