Constructors

TelemetryEvent(String, TelemetrySeverity)

Creates the new telemetry event instance with severity information. You should consider choosing UserTaskEvent, OperationEvent, FaultEvent, AssetEvent, TelemetrySettingProperty or TelemetryMetricProperty These will enable a richer telemetry experience with additional insights provided by Visual Studio Data Model. If your data point doesn't align with any VS Data Model entity, please don't force any association and continue to use this method. If you have any questions regarding VS Data Model, please email VS Data Model Crew (vsdmcrew@microsoft.com).

Properties

Correlation	Gets correlation of this event. It represents this event when correlated with other events.
DataSource	Gets data source.
EventSchemaVersion	Gets schema version for this event.
EventType	Gets event type for this event
HasProperties	Gets a value indicating whether properties already created.
IsOptOutFriendly	Gets or sets a value indicating whether event is friendly for the optOut session. By default it is false. If it is OptOut friendly it passes through with the event specific properties only. This behaviour can be changed by manifest rules.
Name	Gets current event name
Properties	Gets a dictionary of event properties. Properties are dimensions that aggregated data can be sliced by. The key is a property name that is unique, not null and not empty. The value is any object that represents a property value. Telemetry channels must use value.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) to send the value to a server as a string.
Severity	Gets or sets a severity level of the event. The level is used for event consumer (e.g., ETW provider, backend reporting) to organize data easier.
SharedPropertyBags	Gets shared property bags

Methods

Correlate(TelemetryEventCorrelation[])	Correlate this event with other events via TelemetryEventCorrelation.
CorrelateWithDescription(TelemetryEventCorrelation, String)	Correlate this event with other event via TelemetryEventCorrelation with description information.
GetDefaultEventProperties(Int64, Int64, String)	Returns default properties that should be on each TelemetryEvent
ToString()	ToString to make debugging easier: show in debug watch window
