Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	RaiseCustomEvent(CustomNotificationEventArgs)	Raises a custom event by using the provided event arguments.
	RaiseCustomEvent(CustomNotificationEventArgs, NotificationBroadcastLevel)	Raises a custom event by using the provided event arguments and indication of broadcast level.
	RaiseCustomEventAsync(CustomNotificationEventArgs)	Asynchronously raises a custom event by using the provided event arguments.
	RaiseCustomEventAsync(CustomNotificationEventArgs, NotificationBroadcastLevel)	Asynchronously raises a custom event by using the provided event arguments and indication of broadcast level.
	RaiseCustomEventAsync(CustomNotificationEventArgs, NotificationBroadcastLevel, Object)	Asynchronously raises a custom event by using the provided event arguments, indication of broadcast level, and user token.
	RaiseTestFailedEvent	Raises a TestCaseFailed event to notify diagnostic data adapters that the test case has failed.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Events

	Name	Description
	CustomEventCompleted	Raised by the testing framework when a diagnostic data adapter has finished handling an asynchronous event.

Examples

To use a DataCollectorNotifications object in a custom test adapter class, you first add the IDataCollectionAwareTestAdapter to the class declaration for your derived test adapter.

public class MyTestAdapter : ITestAdapter, IDataCollectionAwareTestAdapter

Then in your test adapter code, you create a DataCollectors property that returns a DataCollectorNotifications object.

public DataCollectorNotifications DataCollectors { get; set; }

You can then use this object to raise events for diagnostic data adapters.

DataCollectors.RaiseCustomEvent(
    new MyCustomDataEventArgs(), 
    NotificationBroadCastLevel.All);

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.
