INFO: Filtering by Source, Category, and Event with Visual Studio Analyzer (242408)

SUMMARY

To work with Visual Studio Analyzer filters, you use the Filter Editor dialog box, which contains both a graphical and a textual interface. You can build most filters by using the graphical interface. However, some complex filters, such as those that use comparison operators, cannot be represented using the graphical interface. You must build these filters by using the textual interface, accessible from the Edit Text button in the Filter Editor dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

When using the textual interface to create your filter, the comparison values that you specify must generally be enclosed in quotes. This is true regardless of the type (DWORD, String, or GUID). There are, however, three exceptions to this rule. The following fields do not require that the GUID value be enclosed in quotes:

Source
Category
Event

For example: (Event = {6c736d61-BCBF-11D0-8A23-00AA00B58E10})

NOTE: Category and Event may also be filtered by their visible name. For example: (Event = "My Custom Event")
