Remarks

With Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium, you can create custom diagnostic data adapters to add functionality to the testing framework user interface (UI). Custom diagnostic data adapters must derive from this DataCollector class. For more information, see Creating a Diagnostic Data Adapter to Collect Custom Data or Affect a Test Machine.

Thread Safety

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