Reading Entries from EventLog in vista

Question

Hi,

I want to be able to read the entries in one of the entries in the Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational under Applications and Services log in C#. When I use

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.Exists("Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy/Operational"), to see if the log event exists, it returns false. I've found that to be true for all logs that are nested in sub folders. Is there another way to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Cheryl

If you can take a dependency on .Net 3.5, System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader namepespace is there to consume Windows Event logs.
