allows you to write to the event log, for debug/error info, instead of writing a text file:

Once you uncomment all you have to do is:

Application.Log.WriteEntry("Something disasterous happened in my app :)", TraceEventType.Information);

Before you had to use a component from the toolbox, this is now available straight out of the box in the my namespace
