Properties

Description	Gets the description template associated with the event using the current thread locale for the description language.
Id	Gets the identifier of the event that is defined in the event provider.
Keywords	Gets the keywords associated with the event that is defined in the event provider.
Level	Gets the level associated with the event that is defined in the event provider. The level defines the severity of the event.
LogLink	Gets a link to the event log that receives this event when the provider publishes this event.
Opcode	Gets the opcode associated with this event that is defined by an event provider. The opcode defines a numeric value that identifies the activity or a point within an activity that the application was performing when it raised the event.
Task	Gets the task associated with the event. A task identifies a portion of an application or a component that publishes an event.
Template	Gets the template string for the event. Templates are used to describe data that is used by a provider when an event is published.
