Remarks

Each hosted event provider may use required and optional arguments. For example, the standard file system watcher event provider requires three arguments (such as WatchDirectory) and has four optional arguments. If you are using a standard event provider, arguments are described in the Standard Event Providers section. If you are using a custom event provider, the provider should include documentation about its arguments.

Example

The following example shows an Arguments element. Its child elements set initialization values for a hosted event provider.

<Arguments>
    <Argument>
        <Name>PickupFile</Name>
        <Value>C:\Output\events.txt</Value>
    </Argument>
    <Argument>
        <Name>OutputFileIncrement</Name>
        <Value>5</Value>
    <Argument>
</Arguments>
