visual studio .net enterprise tools: I notice the following definition under <eventCategories> in the EIF =
configuration file:
<eventCategory name=3D"All Events" description=3D"A category that =
contains all events.">
<event type=3D"System.Object" />
</eventCategory>

and that the EventSource.Raise method takes a System.Object type as a =
parameter. Does this imply that it is possible to filter types that are =
not defined in the EIF schema? Or am I miss interpreting this?

Sorry Steve,

Its not possible to filter types that do not have the
InstrumentationTypeAttribute (on its class or one of its base classes). The
EventSource.Raise() method is checking that the object passed to is of a
type that has the InstrumentationTypeAttribute and will throw an error if
it doesnt.

In the next version of EIF, we could get it that any object could be passed
and filtered by EIF, but I imagine that you would have to write your own
event sink to handle outputting the now arbitary structure of the object
passed.

What are your thoughts on the above?

Mike

Mike:

The rational for this is that the client has sub-typed the
ApplicatonException type is ways that do not directly correlate to the EIF
schema. I am going to have to create a custom EIF schema and build a
translation layer to map the ApplicationException sub-types to the custom
EIF schema. I was just looking to see if there was an easier way to do
this.
