Hi,
I'm still fairly new to .NET, but I want to create an eventlog viewer using
C#. Attached at the bottom is some code I've already written. My problem is
that I can't match the performance of the Windows NT eventview for reading
the application event log. I can read a remote machine's app log in seconds,
but my code takes over a minute to read the same information. How can I
improve my code? Someone out there must have tried already? Or should I just
give up and use a diffent language (C++)? If I try a listBox (rather than
listView), I get a small improvement, but nothing to match the eventviewer.
What am I doing wrong? I am the only one trying this? If Microsoft in the
future will be using C# to build their OS, will they be using the eventlog
class and a listView control, if so how will they achieve acceptable
perform?
Is there a good book out there that would help?
Any help would be much appricated.
Simon
(frustrated and about to give up...)

V
private void GetEventlog()
{
int rowcount = 0;
EventLog NTIlog = new EventLog("Application",CurMachine);
for(int i = 0; i < NTIlog.Entries.Count; i++)
{
if(NTIlog.Entries[i].Source.ToString() ==
"PontisInstallAgent")
{
ListViewItem item =
listView1.Items.Add(NTIlog.Entries[i].TimeGenerated.ToString());
switch(NTIlog.Entries[i].EntryType.ToString())
{
case "Error" :
item.BackColor = Color.Red;
item.ForeColor = Color.White;
break;
case "Warning" :
item.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
item.ForeColor = Color.Black;
break;
default :
item.BackColor = Color.White;
item.ForeColor = Color.Black;
break;
}
item.SubItems.Add(NTIlog.Entries[i].EntryType.ToString());
item.SubItems.Add(NTIlog.Entries[i].Message);
}
}
foreach(ColumnHeader col in listView1.Columns)
{
col.Width = -2;
}
NTIlog.Close();
}
