A:

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187885(v=sql.105).aspx

View the SQL Server error log by using SQL  Management Studio or any
  text editor. By default, the error log is located at Program
  Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG and ERRORLOG.n
  files.

So you can use the Directory.EnumerateFiles class to enumerate the files and File.ReadAllText to read the text from each file.

A:

You should be able to get the error log path via the SQL Server SMO assembly:
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;

namespace SQLLogsToText
{
    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string errorLogPath = null;

            using (var sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(@"Integrated Security=SSPI; Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS"))
            {
                var serverConnection = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection(sqlConnection);
                var server = new Server(serverConnection);
                errorLogPath = server.ErrorLogPath;
            }

            if (errorLogPath!= null)

NullReferenceException in VB.NET after upgrade to 4.0

I have a VB.NET solution that I just upgraded.  It was originally in.NET 1.1, I upgraded to.NET 2.0 and verified that it would build and run correctly.  Then I upgraded from 2.0 to 4.0.  It is still building with no errors, but when I try to run I am getting a NullReferenceException in Global.asax.vb.  The really weird thing is, the line that is throwing the exception is this:
Dim dt As System.Data.DataTable

I am not trying to use the variable, just declare it.  Further down a Function is called that returns a DataTable and sets the variable,
log files (Management > SQL Server Logs) to a csv or text file.
