I want to read the windows Event Viewer .Evt File  to get information about windows shutdown, startup,restart.......etc

and log it to my database.

Hello M. Shair,

I think the easiest way to do this will be to save the event logs as a .txt or .csv file.  Take a look at this article. There is a section titled "How to Archive a Log.

You could also take a look at Microsoft's LogParser. You can call the executable from the command line using System Exec. It supposedly also has an ActiveX interface.
