Hi,

I'm trying to write a url as a hyperlink in the Eventlog,
does anyone know if this is possible ??

I have tried the following but this doesn't appear as a
hyperlink. Microsoft have done the same thing with there
support link.

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyLog",
@"http://www.mylog.com");

Thanks in advance

Have you tried writing it as HTML?

<a href='http://www.mylog.com'>http://www.mylog.com</a>

Don't bother, that doesn't seem to work either.
I know there are differences in the way the .NET writes to the log (doesn't
use insertion strings). Maybe this is a limitation of those differences.

Hi Eric,

Yeah I tried this approach as well, I have found the
following article which proves it can be done.
