Indicates the source of the notification received by the dependency event handler.

Namespace:  System.Data.SqlClient
Assembly:  System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
public enum SqlNotificationSource
Member name Description
Data Data has changed; for example, an insert, update, delete, or truncate operation occurred.
Timeout The subscription time-out expired.
Object A database object changed; for example, an underlying object related to the query was dropped or modified.
Database The database state changed; for example, the database related to the query was dropped or detached.
System A system-related event occurred. For example, there was an internal error, the server was restarted, or resource pressure caused the invalidation.
Statement The Transact-SQL statement is not valid for notifications; for example, a SELECT statement that could not be notified or a non-SELECT statement was executed.
Environment The run-time environment was not compatible with notifications; for example, the isolation level was set to snapshot, or one or more SET options are not compatible.
Execution A run-time error occurred during execution.
Owner Internal only; not intended to be used in your code.
Unknown Used when the source option sent by the server was not recognized by the client.
Client A client-initiated notification occurred, such as a client-side time-out or as a result of attempting to add a command to a dependency that has already fired.

The SqlNotificationSource enumeration is referenced by an instance of the SqlNotificationEventArgs class.
