<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>The <code>Add</code> method adds an event (entry) to the event
log database.</p>
<p>This method can be called both synchronously and asynchronously.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<p>For synchronous calls:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-7CD9AD3A-D065-4F76-A3FF-D524249CBF65-GENIDd0e51563">result = so.IDataSource.Add(criteria);</pre>
<p>For asynchronous calls:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-F1140A2E-9B60-4953-8C6E-1A6C47461241-GENIDd0e51569">result = so.IDataSource.Add(criteria, callback);</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>criteria</code>:</p>
<p>This is an object that specifies what type of device log entries are
added to the event database and details about the entry. For more information
about the object properties and how to define them, see section <a href="GUID-DDF5BDA7-E0DA-40EB-94E7-30824B0F4365.html#GUID-DDF5BDA7-E0DA-40EB-94E7-30824B0F4365">Criteria for adding a log entry</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>callback</code>:</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> argument is the name of the method
that is executed when an asynchronous <code>Add</code> call has results
or status information to return. You must define this method separately. Follow
the instructions in section <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608">Defining the callback handler for an asynchronous method</a> to
define the <code>callback</code> method.</p>
<p>This argument is used only with an asynchronous <code>Add</code> call.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>If synchronous, the <code>Add</code> method returns an object
that contains a unique identifier for the log entry, an error code, and an
error message.</p>

<p>If asynchronous, the <code>Add</code> method returns an object
that contains the initial return value from the asynchronous call that it
started (see the following table). The actual logging information is returned
by the <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608"><code>callback</code></a> method
in the <code>ReturnValue</code> property of its result object. The
returned information is described in the preceding table.</p>
