EventLog - errors during write

I use Event log like that:

if(!EventLog.SourceExists("Service"))
                EventLog.CreateEventSource("Service","Sending notification email error");
                EventLog.WriteEntry("Service",
                                    System.String.Format("Sending notification email error {0} \n {1} \n From {2} \n To {3} ",
                                    Error.Message,Error.StackTrace,From!=null?From.Address:"",
                                    To!=null?string.Join(",",To.ToList()):""),
                                    EventLogEntryType.Warning,2);

I have that code in two projects of same solution. But when I try to log information on production - one code log successfully, when other give me error

The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security

I can not find what make a difference that other is not working :/

I do like on this blog but i refer to .net 4.0 folder cause my app use .net4.

Any idea?

MSDN says that CreateEventSource method may need some time to create the event source - that's why you should do it during instalation, to give the OS some time to set up the event source. Maybe that's the source of your problem.

You must be administrator to create an event log source. Do you have the correct rights?
