In This Topic

Name of the class property used to name instances of the monitored field. Optional.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property InstanceNamer As String

public string InstanceNamer {get; set;}

Remarks

The instance namer overrides how the object containing the field is identified.

Since the GField attribute is applied to a field it will be tracked for all instances of the related class. With the exception of static classes this may be a potentially unbounded set of different objects. By default, every object has a unique runtime identifier which is recorded with the metric value to enable correlation during analysis but this value is not predictable or consistent. Instead, if an object has a property that represents a more useful, unique name for the object then specifying its name in this property will produce more useful log messages and graphs.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
