<para>Use <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance" /> to write an event log entry with a resource identifier rather than a string value. To write an event log entry, initialize the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.InstanceId" /> property and pass the instance to the <see cref="Overload:System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent" /> method. The Event Viewer uses the instance identifier to find and display the corresponding string from the localized resource file based on current language settings. You must register the event source with the corresponding resource file before you write events using resource identifiers.</para>
<para>When writing events, you can set the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.EntryType" /> property to specify the icon that the Event Viewer displays for the entry. You can also specify a <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> property to specify the category that the Event Viewer displays for the entry.</para>
<para>The Event Viewer uses the category to filter events written by an event source. The Event Viewer can display the category as a numeric value, or it can use the category as a resource identifier to display a localized category string.</para>
<para>To display localized category strings in the Event Viewer, you must use an event source configured with a category resource file, and set the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> to a resource identifier in the category resource file. If the event source does not have a configured category resource file, or the specified <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> does not index a string in the category resource file, and then the Event Viewer displays the numeric category value for that entry. Configure the category resource file, along with the number of category strings in the resource file, using the <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventLogInstaller" /> or the <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventSourceCreationData" /> class.</para>
<para>You must register a source for an event log before using <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance" /> to write an event with the <see cref="Overload:System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEvent" /> method. The source must be configured for writing localized entries to the log and the source must define at least a message resource file. </para>
<para>Create the new event source during the installation of your application. This allows time for the operating system to refresh its list of registered event sources and their configurations. If the operating system has not refreshed its list of event sources, and you attempt to write an event with the new source, the write operation will fail. You can configure a new source using an <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventLogInstaller" />, or using the <see cref="Overload:System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource" /> method. You must have administrative rights on the computer to create a new event source.</para>

<para>Event log categories are application-defined values that help filter events, or provide further information about the event. For example, your application can define separate categories for different components or different operations.</para>
<para>Set the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> property to specify the category that the Event Viewer displays for the entry. The Event Viewer can display the category as a numeric value, or it can use the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> as a resource identifier to display a localized category string based on the current language settings.</para>
<para>To display localized category strings in the Event Viewer, you must use an event source configured with a category resource file, and set the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> to a resource identifier in the category resource file. If the event source does not have a configured category resource file, or the specified <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> does not index a string in the category resource file, and then the Event Viewer displays the numeric category value for that entry.</para>
<para>You must register the source with the corresponding resource file before you write event categories using resource identifiers. Configure the category resource file, along with the number of category strings in the resource file, using the <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventLogInstaller" /> or the <see cref="T:System.Diagnostics.EventSourceCreationData" /> class. When defining category strings in a resource file, the category resource identifiers must be numbered consecutively starting at 1, up to the configured <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventSourceCreationData.CategoryCount" /> property value.</para>
<para>Event categories are optional. If your application does not use categories, do not set the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.CategoryId" /> for the event log entry.</para>

<para>The <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.InstanceId" /> property uniquely identifies an event entry for a configured event source. For events defined in message resource files, the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.InstanceId" /> corresponds to the resource identifier compiled from the message definition fields in the message text file. Your application can write localized event log entries by setting the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.InstanceId" /> to a resource identifier. The Event Viewer uses the <see cref="P:System.Diagnostics.EventInstance.InstanceId" /> resource identifier to find and display the corresponding string from the localized resource file based on current language settings. You must register the source with the corresponding resource file before you write events using resource identifiers.</para>
