All event data (trace or debug) from the source event is written to the ETW subsystem as a string. The data elements are delimited using a comma. To specify a different delimiter, use the Delimiter property.
Adding the listener to System.Diagnostics::TraceSource registers the provider with the ETW subsystem. You must create an ETW trace session using the Logman.exe executable program (or something similar) to write the events to a log file.
You do not need a manifest to consume events from the listener because the event data is a single string.
When you call the System.Diagnostics::TraceSource methods to write events, you pass a System.Diagnostics::TraceEventType enumeration value. The enumeration contains both level and keyword values. When you enable a trace listener provider from an ETW session, the level value that you specify can be the value associated with one of the following System.Diagnostics::TraceEventType enumeration values:
Critical (value is 1)
Error (value is 2)
Information (value is 8)
Verbose (value is 16)
Warning (value is 4)
The keyword value that you specify for the session can be the value associated with one of the following System.Diagnostics::TraceEventType enumeration values:
Resume (value is 2,048)
Start (value is 256)
Stop (value is 512)
Suspend (value is 1,024)
Transfer (value is 4,096)

// You should use the All default level and control the level using the
