LogParser: Has a COM API as well as a command line application. Recommended. Also reads many other types of logs.

WMI: Can be made to read event logs. Doesn't perform well.

Windows API: If you are programming in C this is the way to go.

C#: Managed APIs exist also.

See the microsoft Windows Event Log API here:

There's http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dhacse28(v=vs.90).aspx Maybe you can provide some criteria (besides .net) to help people focus their answers?
