hi all, i have the simplest console app to test the eventlog appender. http://www25.brinkster.com/rodchar/log4net.htm image of windiff Initially, if i run the app as a user the event log won't work. However, if i run the app as an admin, it successfully writes to the event log. Then when i run the app again as a user it will log to the event log (unlike before). can someone please explain this?
