If you want to add an event to the Neuron ESB v3 event log, use this from a code step:

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("Neuron ESB v3", "<your event info>", System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Warning);

Why do we need to write directly to the Event Log? Isn't that the purpose of the RaiseAdapterError method?

The Neuron API.chm doc I have states in the Remarks section that "[RaiseAdapterError] Invokes OnAdapterError and logs the message into the Neuron ESB Windows event log." Is the documentation out of date? At the top of this entry it states: "Assembly:  Neuron.Esb (in Neuron.Esb.dll) Version: 2.5.0.0 (2.5.0.0)" I have version 3.1.0.275 installed and this doc was installed with it.

in your class, that derives from PipelineStep<ESBMessage>,  you can put functions like this to read the traceflags of the esb service runtime:

private bool IsDebug()
{
    return _traceSwitch.Level == TraceLevel.Verbose;
}

then, within your code, you can do trace statements like this:

if (IsDebug()) Neuron.Esb.Logging.ESBLoggingHelper.LogAppInfo(Neuron.Esb.Logging.ESBAppEventInfo.ESBAppEventSource.PipelineHelper, string.Format("Zip CleanFileName: Original = {0}. Cleaned = {1}: Topic = {2}. Party = {3}. Process = {4}. Process Step {5}. Message ID = {6}", original, fileName, context.Data.Header.Topic, context.Data.Header.SourceId, context.Instance.Pipeline.Name, context.Instance.CurrentStep.Name, context.Data.Header.MessageId));

there are LogAppInfo, LogAppWarning, LogAppError methods

I am using the following statement for logging from WFL step:

Neuron.Esb.Logging.ESBLoggingHelper.LogAppInfo(Neuron.Esb.Logging.ESBAppEventInfo.ESBAppEventSource.ClientContext,"####Starting####");

It is logging to Event Log.  Shouldn't it be logging to Neuron log?
