I need a way to write to Windows' event viewer in my app that's using dnx. But, the EventLog class isn't available in the System.Diagnostics namespace so I'm stuck. Is there any other way to write to the EventViewer?

Add from NuGet Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventLog Version 2.1.1

CM> Install-Package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventLog -Version 2.1.1

Include the namespace Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.EventLog in the Program.cs file

This resolved my problem.
