How can I iterate through a component collection and read the text of each of the compnent?

I'm using vs2005, .net 2.0. I tried the following code to read the system Securitylog's but am getting error. padLogEntry is an EventyLogEntry

IEnumerator IEnum = padLogEntry.Container.Components.GetEnumerator();
Error 2 Using the generic type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<T>' requires '1' type arguments C:\Projects\UnityAdmin\EventReport.cs 62

Try to change:

IEnumerator<Component> IEnum = padLogEntry.Container.Components.GetEnumerator();

Hi rameedev,

I need to read the property of the "Security" log's entry. I think they're stored as components and am wondering how can I read them. thanks.

Hi anaki, I tried it but it gives an error.

Thanks.

You mean to say you want to read msgs in the Security EventLog...Can you clarify?

When I double click on an entry of the "Security" log in the system's "Event Viewer", a Property window pops up. In this window, there is a "Description" section that lists many different information like "User Name:, "Domain", "Login ID"......
How can I obtain each of this inforation in my program? Thank you.
