NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Gets a collection of all categories registered with the server farm.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ObsoleteAttribute("Use SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.Categories")> _
Public Function GetItems As IEnumerable(Of IDiagnosticsLevel)
'Usage
Dim instance As SPDiagnosticsService
Dim returnValue As IEnumerable(Of IDiagnosticsLevel)

returnValue = instance.GetItems()
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.Categories")]
public IEnumerable<IDiagnosticsLevel> GetItems()

Return value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IDiagnosticsLevel>
A IEnumerable<T> collection of IDiagnosticsLevel objects.

Implements

IDiagnosticsManager.GetItems()

Examples

The following example shows a console application that calls the GetItems method to obtain information about all categories that are registered with the server farm. The output from the console application is identical (except for differences in format) to the output from the Stsadm command-line tool when used with these switches.
