Port EventLog to .NET Core

[terrajobst]

This includes System.Diagnostics.EventLog and friends.

This isn't in the Mono mobile subset. Only
EventLogEntryType

This is not currently in .NET Standard 2.0. It would be an extension. It probably isn't useful to have an issue for it.

[danmoseley]

Let's use this to track interest in System.Diagnostics.EventLog.

Please add a thumbs up to top post if this is relvant to you.

completed - available in myget, expect on nuget in mid November.

[RemusDutulescu]

Any update on when it will be available on nuget?

[karthikvcode]

@danmosemsft Is the nuget package for this available currently?

[danmoseley]

@ppman11 yes it's on nuget here:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Diagnostics.EventLog/4.5.0-preview1-26216-02

If you need compat shims (ie., you want to reuse a binary that was built against .NET Framework) you also need https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Windows.Compatibility.Shims/2.0.0-preview1-26216-02

Normally these would be wrapped up in a metapackage but there has been a delay in publishing that due to a name conflict.
