How to use SaveSetting() and GetSetting() methods of VB in C#? Lets see, SaveSetting() method is used to store UI input data and GetSetting() method is used to retrieve that stored data. //Save textbox1's value SaveSetting (App.EXEName, "textboxes", "textbox1", textbox1.Text) //Get textbox1's value textbox1.text = GetSetting (App.EXEName, "textboxes", "textbox1", "") SaveSetting stores the data in the Registry (in HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software|VB and VBA Program Settings|YourAppName). The four parts of the function are the name under which it is stored (App.EXEName in this case), "textboxes" in this example is like the section name in an ini file, "textbox1" is like the key in a line of data in the ini file, and textbox1.text is the value. GetSetting returns the value. The 4th parameter ("" in this case) is optional and it is the default if no registry entry is found. I f you use thes...

(1) public void method(int a, string optParam="defaultValue") {       //Appropriate code here; } In above example second string parameter  optParam is passed with default value " defaultValue ". When method() is called with only one parameter then second parameter automatically assigned to its default value.       method(25);  // here second parameter gets value " defaultValue ".           or    method(25,"Example"); //here second parameter gets value "Example". Other method to pass optional parameter is, (2) using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public void method(int a, [Optional] string...

Create and Delete Custom Event Logs Create the Custom Log Use the CreateEventSource method to create your own custom event handler. Before you create the event log, use the SourceExists method to verify that the source you are using does not already exist, and then call CreateEventSource. If you try to create an event log that already exists, a System.ArgumentException error is thrown.  The following code example demonstrates how to create a custom log:        ' Check if the log already exist       If Not EventLog.SourceExists("MyOldSource", System.Environment.MachineName) Then          ' Creating a new log          EventLog.CreateEventSource("MyOldSource", "MyNewLog", System.Environment.MachineName)          Console.WriteLine("New event log created successfully.")       End If You Can Write Event logs on Button ...

System Event Logs You can find the existing logs on a computer by using the GetEventLogs shared method of the EventLog class. The GetEventLogs method searches for all event logs on the local computer, and then it creates an array of EventLog objects that contain the list. The following code example retrieves a list of logs on the local computer, and then displays the names of the logs in a console window: Dim remoteEventLogs() As EventLog 'Gets logs on the local machine, give remote machine name to get the logs on the remote machine       remoteEventLogs = EventLog.GetEventLogs(System.Environment.MachineName)       Console.WriteLine("Number of logs on computer: " & remoteEventLogs.Length)       'Display the list of event logs       Dim log As EventLog       For Each log In remoteEventLogs          Console.WriteLine("Log: " & log.Log)       Nex...
