Remarks
Use the EventSourceCreationData.MessageResourceFile property to configure an event log source to write localized event messages. Event messages are application-defined strings that describe the event to the user.
Your application can write event log entries using resource identifiers. A resource identifier indexes a message located in the EventSourceCreationData.MessageResourceFile. The Event Viewer uses the resource identifier to find and display the corresponding string from the localized message resource file based on current language settings.
The event source must be configured either for writing localized entries or for writing direct strings. Use the erload:System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent method to write localized entries for a source configured with a message resource file.
If your application writes event message strings directly, rather than using a resource identifier in a localized resource file, do not set the EventSourceCreationData.MessageResourceFile property.
For details about defining event messages and building event resource files, see the "Message Compiler" topic in the Platform SDK documentation at tp://msdn.microsoft.com/.
