Initializes an instance of the EventCollector class.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices (in microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Initialize ( _
    nsApplication As NSApplication, _
    providerName As String _
)

public void Initialize (
    NSApplication nsApplication,
    string providerName
)

public:
virtual void Initialize (
    NSApplication^ nsApplication, 
    String^ providerName
) sealed

public final void Initialize (
    NSApplication nsApplication, 
    String providerName
)

public final function Initialize (
    nsApplication : NSApplication, 
    providerName : String
)

Parameters

nsApplication
An NSApplication that represents the Notification Services application to which this EventCollector submits events. This value is necessary for gathering event statistics for the given event provider.

providerName
A String containing the name of the event provider for this event collector.

Remarks

The Initialize method is used in conjunction with the parameter-less constructor to enable COM interoperability. It must be called before any other property or method is called on an EventCollector object created with the parameter-less constructor.

Example

The following example shows how to create and initialize an EventCollector object in unmanaged Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) code:

Dim myInstance, myApplication, myEventCollector

const instanceName = "MyInstanceName"
const applicationName = "MyApplicationName"
const eventProviderName = "MyEventProviderName"

'Create & initialize an NSInstance object.
set myInstance = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.NSInstance")
myInstance.Initialize instanceName

'Create & initialize an NSApplication object.
set myApplication = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.NSApplication")
myApplication.Initialize (myInstance), applicationName

'Create & initialize an EventCollector object.
set myEventCollector = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.EventCollector")
myEventCollector.Initialize (myApplication), eventProviderName

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
