Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property EventSource As SPAuditEventSource
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As SPAuditEntry
Dim value As SPAuditEventSource

value = instance.EventSource
public SPAuditEventSource EventSource { get; }

Property value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAuditEventSource
An SPAuditEventSource value that specifies whether the event was caused by code that uses the SharePoint Foundation object model (specifically, one of the WriteAuditEvent methods) or by a user through the UI of the SharePoint Foundation deployment.

Remarks

If the value of EventSource is ObjectModel, the SourceName property can identify the application that called WriteAuditEvent.

One purpose of this property is to ensure that a rogue developer cannot programmatically create audit entries that appear to have been created by user action in the UI.
