    WebEventFormatter formatter)
{
    base.FormatCustomEventDetails(formatter);

    // Add custom data.

    formatter.AppendLine(
  "* SampleWebBaseEvent End *");


    formatter.IndentationLevel -= 1;
}

    'Formats Web request event information.
    Public Overrides Sub FormatCustomEventDetails( _
ByVal formatter As WebEventFormatter)
        MyBase.FormatCustomEventDetails(formatter)

        ' Add custom data.
        formatter.AppendLine("")

        formatter.IndentationLevel += 1
        
        formatter.TabSize = 4
        
        formatter.AppendLine("*SampleWebBaseEvent Start *")
        formatter.AppendLine("Custom information goes here")
        formatter.AppendLine("* SampleWebBaseEvent End *")
        ' Display custom event timing.
        formatter.AppendLine(customCreatedMsg)
        formatter.AppendLine(customRaisedMsg)
        formatter.IndentationLevel -= 1

    End Sub

Remarks

The FormatCustomEventDetails method provides a uniform format for event information, which is useful if the event data must be logged and later presented to the user. It is called internally when the provider invokes one of the ToString methods.

Note

When you format your custom event information for display, override the FormatCustomEventDetails method rather than the ToString method. This will avoid overwriting or tampering with sensitive system information.
