I want to log an Entry in the EventViewer as Critical but I don't have the EventLogType associated :
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("ApplicationName", message, System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error);
According to the MSDN, the EventLogEntryType have only 5 possible values :
Error
Warning
FailureAudit
Information
SuccessAudit
And in the EventViewer, there is 5 level of severity :
Critical
Error
Warning
Information
Verbose
But it is not mapped ! Error logs in Error Warning logs in Warning But FailureAudit, Information and SuccessAudit logs in Information
Do you have any idea of how I can log a Critical Event with EventLog.WriteEvent ?
I believe that It is only generated from System itself:
Critical events are sent to the user in the form of an immediate message on the screen. Other event notifications are written to one of several event logs that record the information for future reference.
