MetadataType Complex Type

Defines the metadata types that you can define in the metadata section of the manifest.

Child elements

Element	Type	Description
channels	ChannelListType	Defines a list of channels to which providers can log events. A provider can then import one or more of the channels in their manifest.
keywords	KeywordListType	Defines a list of keywords that determine the category of events that the provider writes.
levels	LevelListType	Defines a list of levels that specify the severity of an event.
message		Defines a message string.
messageTable		Defines a list of message strings.
namedQueries	NamedQueryType	Defines a list of named queries that use regular expressions to perform find and replace actions on an event's message string.
opcodes	OpcodeListType	Defines a list of opcodes that you can use to group events within a task.
tasks	TaskListType	Defines a list of tasks that a provider can use to group events. Typically, you use tasks to group events for a feature or component of the provider.
types	TypeListType	Defines a list of XML types.

Attributes

Name	Type	Description
message	strTableRef	A reference to the localized string in the string table.
mid	xs:string	Not used.
name	anyURI	The URI of the meta file.
symbol	CSymbolType	The symbolic name that you want the message compiler to create for this message string.
value	UInt32Type	The number to use as the message identifier for this message.

Remarks

Although you can create a manifest that contains a metadata section, the service will not use it; the only metadata that the service recognizes is the metadata found in the Winmeta.xml file.
