How is your Internet connection speed now? No more slow TM Net Streamyx? Hmm… I am still facing slowness when connect to my blogs which hosted at US. Based on Streamyx website, the connection speed should back to normal by 5 April 2009. But I did not feel that my Internet connection is back to normal. How about yours?
Yes, you are faster than Streamyx! 
Will start to blog actively when the connection speed is really back to normal.

How to create and delete custom event logs in Windows using C# .NET Framework? In my latest project, I need to have a custom Windows event log to keep track of all the bugs reported by my applications. Therefore, I created an application to create this custom event log file.
First of all, you need to have using System.Diagnostics; We need to use System.Diagnostics namespace to create or remove custom event logs.
Codes to create custom event logs
EventLog.CreateEventSource(“ApplicationName”, “LogName”);
These codes will create an event log called ‘LogName’ and EventSource as ‘ApplicationName’.
Codes to delete custom event logs
EventLog.Delete(“LogName”);
Hope this will help…
How to modify Windows System Registry Values with C#? As usual, you need to use Microsoft.Win32 Namespace ~ using Microsoft.Win32;. Let’s take Windows Application Event Logs values as an example. I want to change the MaxSize and Retention values in Application Event Log file by using C#.
Codes to change Windows System Registry values
RegistryKey TestEventLog = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(“System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EventLog\\Application”,true);
TestEventLog.SetValue(“MaxSize”, “102367232″, RegistryValueKind.DWord);
TestEventLog.SetValue(“Retention”, “0″, RegistryValueKind.DWord);
Above codes open Application event log and with write permission (,true). It changes both MaxSize and Retention values.
Just change the codes to suit your need.
