Event Log Viewer without EventLog

[AhClem]

Hi, Are there any ways to get Event Log information from a remote box other than with the EventLog class? EventLog dumps the entire collection of entries, for the specified log, as soon as it's opened. There is no way to throttle it, Read Next, or filter on anything besides "Source". The buffer size appears to be set at 40,000 and I don't see any way to change that (not that I'd want to). Everything was going great until I tried to get a a rather large log. And of course, the solution has to be entirely from the client side and I have no control over the size of the remote server logs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Will
