Errors while passing event log into dataGridView

Question

I am putting a list of event logs into the dataGridView from windows froms, the program runs fine and it more or less does what it needs to do, but while it is putting it into the dataGridView and while I am scrolling through the events in the dataGridView it throws up a ton of errors.

Video of issue: https://youtu.be/Ixl7AatUiW0

I don't know where they are coming from or where to start to fix them. You can sort of scroll through the events, but it throws up those errors and keeps running.

public static class EventLogClassContainer
{
    public static string EvlLocation { get; set; } = "";
    public static string EvlName { get; set; } = "Application";
    public static string evlLocationManual = "%Test.evt%";
    public static List<EventLogEntry> _LogEntries { get; private set; }

    public static void ReadEventLog()
    {
        EventLog evlLog = new EventLog(EvlName, ".");
        EventLogEntryCollection eventLogEntries = evlLog.Entries;
        int eventLogEntryCount = eventLogEntries.Count;
        foreach (EventLogEntry entry in evlLog.Entries)
        {
            //entry.Message
            _LogEntries = eventLogEntries.Cast<EventLogEntry>().ToList();
        }
    }

    public static void SetEvlName(string evlLocation)
    {
        Parser.FileNameFinder(evlLocation, 3);
    }

    public static void RELSystemTest()
    {
        EventLog evlLog = new EventLog("Application", ".");
        EventLogEntryCollection eventLogEntries = evlLog.Entries;
        int eventLogEntryCount = eventLogEntries.Count;
        _LogEntries = eventLogEntries.Cast<EventLogEntry>().ToList();
    }

    public static void ParseTest()
    {
        evlLocationManual = "K:\\Event Log\\Test\\Test.evt";
        ReadEventLog();
    }

    public static void setLogLocation(string input)
    {
        EvlLocation = input;
    }
}

    // Open the log file
    private void OpenFile()
    {
        // Show file open dialog
        if (openFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            // Create a dataset for binding the data to the grid.
            ds = new DataSet("EventLog Entries");
            ds.Tables.Add("Events");
            ds.Tables["Events"].Columns.Add("ComputerName");
            ds.Tables["Events"].Columns.Add("EventId");
            ds.Tables["Events"].Columns.Add("EventType");
            ds.Tables["Events"].Columns.Add("SourceName");
            ds.Tables["Events"].Columns.Add("Message");
            // Start the processing as a background process
            EventLogClassContainer.EvlLocation = openFile.FileName;
            worker.RunWorkerAsync(openFile.FileName);
        }
    }

    // Bind the dataset to the grid.
    private void worker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        EventLogClassContainer.RELSystemTest();
        bs = new BindingSource(ds, "Events");
        Foo foo1 = new Foo("TEST PC");
        ComputerName.Add(foo1);

        bs.DataSource = EventLogClassContainer._LogEntries;
        //Bind fooList to the dataGridView
        dataGridView1.DataSource = bs;

        this.Invoke(pbHandler, new object[] { 100, 100 });
    }

Exceptions below:

It would be great help if you will include exception with a strack trace into a question — klashar
There are multiple exceptions I linked a video with them on their, but I will write the exceptions below the code, so you can read them too. — Brendon 'Shadow' Banville

From the video, it appears that some of your column definitions are not matching up with the file contents. One of the columns appears to be expecting images or icons but is probably getting an index of some type. Another column is attempting to convert file values to an enum but the value "0" is not in the enum.
