Continuing his series on custom Web control development in Managed C++, Stephen Fraser takes it up a notch by examining the more advanced—and far more powerful—composite custom Web control.

Learn how the StackTrace class makes your debugging life a bit easier by enabling you to retrieve full call stack information.

Tom Archer illustrates the steps necessary to programmatically monitor your system's event log from a Managed C++ application. Monitoring certain event logs—especially the Security log—enables you to keep tabs on such security-related events as failed login attempts and port scans.

Learn how to enumerate event log entries, read specific event entries, manually filter events based on their desired property values, write new event entries, and clear an event log.

Learn how to enumerate local and remote event logs, instantiate an EventLog object for a specific event log, create a custom event log specific to your application, and delete an event log.

Tom Archer illustrates how programmatically modifying Windows Registry keys and values from Managed C++ is much easier and more intuitive than ever before.
