Initializes a new instance of the EventData class that uses the specified byte array as the body.

public EventData(byte[] byteArray)

Parameters

byteArray byte[]

The event data byte array which is used to form the body stream.

EventData(Stream)

Initializes a new instance of the EventData class that uses the argument stream as the body stream.

public EventData(Stream stream)

Parameters

stream Stream

A stream which is used as the body stream.

EventData(object, XmlObjectSerializer)

Initializes a new instance of the EventData class that takes the input content and serializer to create the body stream.

public EventData(object content, XmlObjectSerializer serializer)

Parameters

content object

The serialized .NET object that contains the event data.

serializer XmlObjectSerializer

The serializer used to serialize content.

Properties

EnqueuedTimeUtc

Gets or sets the date and time of the sent time in UTC.

public DateTime EnqueuedTimeUtc { get; }

Property Value

DateTime

The enqueue time in UTC. This value represents the actual time of enqueuing the event data.

public string Offset { get; }

Property Value

string

The read offset of the event data.

PartitionKey

Gets or sets the key that is used to determine to which partition to send event data.

public string PartitionKey { get; set; }

Property Value

string

A partition key for the partition to which event data should be sent.

Properties

Gets the user properties of the event data that the user explicitly added during send operations.

public IDictionary<string, object> Properties { get; }

Property Value

IDictionary<string, object>

The user properties of the event data.

SequenceNumber

Gets the logical sequence number of the event within the partition stream of the Event Hub.

public long SequenceNumber { get; }

Property Value

long

The logical sequence number of the event.

SerializedSizeInBytes

public long SerializedSizeInBytes { get; }

Property Value

long

SystemProperties

Gets or sets the system properties, including the event data.

public IDictionary<string, object> SystemProperties { get; }

Property Value

IDictionary<string, object>

The system properties, including the event data.
