Property Value

An Int32 value that specifies the error message severity.

Remarks

A SQL Server Agent alert is raised when a Microsoft SQL Server process raises a specific error or an error of a specific severity level. Setting the Severity property of an Alert object associates an alert with a specific SQL Server error message severity level.

Setting both the Severity and MessageID properties of an Alert object attempts to associate an alert with both an error message severity level and an error message, which causes an exception.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.
