I think you need to create an extension for it.
Takes from MSDN and instead of Console you create a recorldlist ofcourse.
(And I expect the extension-usre need to have certain right to be able to access it)

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

class MySample{

    public static void Main(){

        EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
        myLog.Log = "MyNewLog";                      
        foreach(EventLogEntry entry in myLog.Entries){
            Console.WriteLine("\tEntry: " + entry.Message);
        }    
    }       
}
