Hi;

I am using the GetCategory in PC SDK vers 5.15 as stated in the PC SDK application manual 5.15 (pg on EventLog domain):  
EventLogCategory cat = log.GetCategory(CategoryType.Common);

but it says that GetCategory and CategoryType are already deprecated. What are the replacement for them ? Please update this info in the manual.

Hi,  
is deprecated but you can always use it, or you can use EventLogCategory cat = log.GetCategories();  
where you receive all the available EventLogMessage of the EventLog.
