Properties

ActivityId	Gets the globally unique identifier (GUID) for the activity in process for which the event is involved. This allows consumers to group related activities.
Bookmark	Gets a placeholder (bookmark) that corresponds to this event. This can be used as a placeholder in a stream of events.
Id	Gets the identifier for this event. All events with this identifier value represent the same type of event.
Keywords	Gets the keyword mask of the event. Get the value of the KeywordsDisplayNames property to get the name of the keywords used in this mask.
KeywordsDisplayNames	Gets the display names of the keywords used in the keyword mask for this event.
Level	Gets the level of the event. The level signifies the severity of the event. For the name of the level, get the value of the LevelDisplayName property.
LevelDisplayName	Gets the display name of the level for this event.
LogName	Gets the name of the event log where this event is logged.
MachineName	Gets the name of the computer on which this event was logged.
Opcode	Gets the opcode of the event. 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. For the name of the opcode, get the value of the OpcodeDisplayName property.
OpcodeDisplayName	Gets the display name of the opcode for this event.
ProcessId	Gets the process identifier for the event provider that logged this event.
Properties	Gets the user-supplied properties of the event.
ProviderId	Gets the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the event provider that published this event.
ProviderName	Gets the name of the event provider that published this event.
Qualifiers	Gets qualifier numbers that are used for event identification.
RecordId	Gets the event record identifier of the event in the log.
RelatedActivityId	Gets a globally unique identifier (GUID) for a related activity in a process for which an event is involved.
Task	Gets a task identifier for a portion of an application or a component that publishes an event. A task is a 16-bit value with 16 top values reserved. This type allows any value between 0x0000 and 0xffef to be used. To obtain the task name, get the value of the TaskDisplayName property.
