ReportEvent

The ReportEvent function writes an entry at the end of the specified event log.

BOOL ReportEvent(

HANDLE hEventLog,
// handle returned by RegisterEventSource
WORD wType,
// event type to log
WORD wCategory,
// event category
DWORD dwEventID,
// event identifier
PSID lpUserSid,
// user security identifier (optional)
WORD wNumStrings,
// number of strings to merge with message
DWORD dwDataSize,
// size of binary data, in bytes
LPCTSTR *lpStrings,
// array of strings to merge with message
LPVOID lpRawData
// address of binary data
);

Parameters

hEventLog

Identifies the event log. This handle is returned by the RegisterEventSource function.

wType

Specifies the type of event being logged. This parameter can be one of the following values:

Value
Meaning
EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
Error event
EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
Warning event
EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
Information event
EVENTLOG_AUDIT_SUCCESS
Success Audit event
EVENTLOG_AUDIT_FAILURE
Failure Audit event

For more information about event types, see Event Logging.

wCategory

Specifies the event category. This is source-specific information; the category can have any value.

dwEventID

Specifies the event identifier. The event identifier specifies the message that goes with this event as an entry in the message file associated with the event source.

lpUserSid

Points to the current user's security identifier. This parameter can be NULL if the security identifier is not required.

wNumStrings

Specifies the number of strings in the array pointed to by the lpStrings parameter. A value of zero indicates that no strings are present.

dwDataSize

Specifies the number of bytes of event-specific raw (binary) data to write to the log. If this parameter is zero, no event-specific data is present.

lpStrings

Points to a buffer containing an array of null-terminated strings that are merged into the message before Event Viewer displays the string to the user. This parameter must be a valid pointer (or NULL), even if wNumStrings is zero.

lpRawData

Points to the buffer containing the binary data. This parameter must be a valid pointer (or NULL), even if the dwDataSize parameter is zero.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero, indicating that the entry was written to the log.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function is used to log an event. The entry is written to the end of the configured logfile for the source identified by the hEventLog parameter. The ReportEvent function adds the time, the user name, the entry's length, and the offsets before storing the entry in the log.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
