Comment on Clear all event logs on Windows using PowerShell by Kristof Mattei

Hi Chris Padilla,

The issue is that wevutil needs Administrative permissions to clear the logs.

Can you run PowerShell as Administrator?

In PowerShell, if I just run:
wevtutil el

… I get output. But if I run:
wevtutil el | ForEach-Object { Write-Host “Clearing $_”; wevutil cl “$_” }

…I get
Clearing DirectShowPluginControl
The term ‘wevutil’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if
a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:65
+ wevtutil el | ForEach-Object { Write-Host “Clearing $_”; wevutil <<<< cl "$_" }
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (wevutil:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

etc.etc.etc.etc….

Comment on VB.NET Casting vs C# casting by Rex Smith

Kristof,

Nice article. Thanks for contrasting casting in the two languages so succinctly. Thanks for cutting to the chase on the “as” operator (C# returns null if “as” is unsuccessful) thus helping me to choose the equivalent in VB.NET, which is TryCast(). Since I write in 3 languages including Visual RPG for .NET (which has an “*as” operator), this article is worthy of a bookmark for future reference.

At the top of the article, you’ll see that Andy was doing a ‘tongue-in-cheek’ rant. What this means is that it was a take-off of what many VB programmers think about C#. It was a spoof, a joke, a light-hearted article that he wrote after converting all his training materials from VB into C#. I’m sorry that it made you cross. It was not intended that way.

I could not agree more, I was also quite disappointed reading the original article. Glad you took the time to build a decent answer.
