Remarks

This identifier is passed to the RaiseAutomationEvent method to raise an event.

Handling an automation event including its specific automation event arguments is not enabled within the Silverlight 5 core API. Handling the event requires that the handler be part of a UI automation client, and the infrastructure for implementing a UI automation client is tied to the UIAutomationClient.dll assembly that is part of Microsoft Windows rather than being a part of the Silverlight libraries. Raising an automation event from the set that is identified by AutomationEvents does not require you to package event data; any required event data is provided by the UI automation infrastructure when it reports the event to UI automation clients.
