How do I write a custom event string to Aws cloudwatch logs

Question

I have spent hours digging through Aws documentation, and I cannot find a c# 'hello world' type sample showing how to programmatically write something simple (like a string or something similar) to Aws cloud watch logs. Perhaps I am not looking in the right place, but Amazon's sdk documentation and code samples seems to be lacking. Anyone have a link to the (probably) 10 lines of code I need?

After some time I have come to the conclusion that there is no simple way to write individual events to AWS in an atomic fashion. You can write a single event to a logfile, and send that to AWS. However, AWS really isn't the tool for streaming logs to a repository in real time. There are much better providers available for performing actions like that.
