EventLevel Enumeration

.NET Framework 4.5

Identifies the level of an event.

Namespace: System.Diagnostics.Tracing
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public enum EventLevel

Members

	Member name	Description
	LogAlways	No level filtering is done on the event.
	Critical	This level corresponds to a critical error, which is a serious error that has caused a major failure.
	Error	This level adds standard errors that signify a problem.
	Warning	This level adds warning events (for example, events that are published because a disk is nearing full capacity).
	Informational	This level adds informational events or messages that are not errors. These events can help trace the progress or state of an application.
	Verbose	This level adds lengthy events or messages. It causes all events to be logged.

Remarks

The level signifies the severity of an event. Lower severity levels encompass higher severity levels. For example, Warning includes the Error and Critical levels, which are higher in severity.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the EventLevel class to specify event levels. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the EventSource class.

[Event(1, Message = "Application Falure: {0}", Level = EventLevel.Error, Keywords = Keywords.Diagnostic)]
public void Failure(string message) { WriteEvent(1, message); }

[Event(2, Message = "Starting up.", Keywords = Keywords.Perf, Level = EventLevel.Informational)]
public void Startup() { WriteEvent(2); }

[Event(7, Level = EventLevel.Verbose, Keywords = Keywords.DataBase)]
public void Mark(int ID) { if (IsEnabled()) WriteEvent(7, ID); }
