Hi Dominik I solved my issue. There was a delegate statement which was
causing all the trouble.
However I still dont understand the need of LoggingEventData and why all
the properties in my loggingEvent object are null before calling
loggingEvent.GetLoggingEventData(); I'll be grateful if you could help me
with this.
Thanks a lot..
