Viewing Web Servers Log Files

[bob323]

Has anyone seen asp.net code to read the logfiles of an IIS server? I have seen lots for just asp (http://www.devarticles.com/content.p...leId=33&page=3)
but I don't know how to convert this into asp.net, any ideas?

it is actually so much easier in asp net

Dim log As New System.Diagnostics.EventLog()
			Dim logentry As System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntry
			log.Log="Application"
			For Each logentry in log.Entries
			     MessageBox.Show(logentry.Message)
			Next logentry

Just change the part that says Application to whatever log you want(Application, Security, System)

And change the the MessageBox.Show to output logentry.Message to either some asp .net labels or list box, or something else you wish.

There are some other log data you can output but you have to look those up. If you have Visual Studio .NET, just use the intellisense for logentry. and see what other properties it has.
