Hello,

I tried to create an event log, write to it and read from it.

But I keep getting the error message "The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security."

What can I do?
Any help please.
Thanks.

Provide some source code. It may just be a permissions issue with the account you are running as.

Yes, maybe its is the security issue, but maybe your EventLog Source does not exists... Check if event log source exists before writing EventLog. Use EventLog.SourceExists("YourSource") method to check if your source exists. If it does then just write else create a new with desired name...
