Remarks

Event objects are created by the API and passed to the application either through a registered EventHandler or an EventQueue or returned from the Session.NextEvent() method. Event objects contain Message objects which can be accessed using Event.GetMessages(). The Event object is a handle to an event. The event is the basic unit of work provided to applications. Each Event object consists of an Event.EventType attribute and zero or more Message objects.
