This interface provides metadata on events.
The interface exposes events as organizations of named values. The contract is that any event in the system must have a name-based way of accessing sub-data within its event type. A simple example is an object: the names can be property names, and those properties can have still more properties beneath them. Another example is a Dictionary structure. Here string names can refer to data objects.
The following tables list the members exposed by the EventType type.
