Event Logging in Visual Basic 6
This is old-school, but you may be on a project requiring you to
work in VB6 (Jay). You can log events to the NT event log by invoking
the LogEvent method on the App object.

It turns out you can only log events from a compiled application. It
won't work if you're running your application from the VB6 environment
for debugging purposes. The following article suggests creating an
ActiveX DLL to hold the logging function.

However, this won't work in ASP without some Registry modifications. I don't know about ASP.NET, but again this is old-school.

There is a lengthy article devoted to ASP logging.

You can also log events to your own file by invoking the StartLogging method on the App object.

Event logging is available in several contexts. I'm sure everyone
knows how to do it in .NET (and now from VB6), but you can also do it
from script.
