write in event log in vb.net

Question

I've developped a sharepoint 2007 feature in vb.net. Inside, have an application page and in onload method, i want to write message in event log

Dim cs As String = "TESTLOG"
    Dim elog As New EventLog()
    Dim sourceExist As Boolean

    Try
        sourceExist = EventLog.SourceExists(cs)
    Catch ex As Exception
        sourceExist = False
    End Try

    If Not sourceExist Then
        Dim ev As New EventLogPermission(EventLogPermissionAccess.Administer, ".")
        ev.PermitOnly()
        EventLog.CreateEventSource(cs, "TESTLOG")
    End If
    elog.Source = cs
    elog.EnableRaisingEvents = True
    EventLog.WriteEntry(cs, message, EventLogEntryType.[Error])

The source is correctly created but when i try to write, i've an access denied. I go to registry to set permission full control at everyone but still have the message. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Eventlog Application

How can i write message in event log?

Thanks

I think you need to make sure the user account that is running the website has full access to the event log. See if the following link is of any help.
