Description (
"The LogRecord object can describe the definitional format for "
"entries in a MessageLog, or can be used to instantiate the "
"actual records in the Log. The latter approach provides a "
"great deal more semantic definition and management control "
"over the individual entries in a MessageLog, than do the "
"record manipulation methods of the Log class. It is "
"recommended that the data in individual Log entries be modeled "
"using subclasses of LogRecord, to avoid the creation of "
"LogRecords with one property (such as RecordData) without "
"semantics. \n"
"Definitional formats for LogRecords could be specified by "
"establishing a naming convention for the RecordID and Message "
"Timestamp key properties." )]

"CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the "

[Key, Description (
"RecordID, with the MessageTimestamp property, serve to "
"uniquely identify the LogRecord within a MessageLog. "
"Note that this property is different than the "
"RecordNumber parameters of the MessageLog methods. The "
"latter are ordinal values only, useful to track position "
"when iterating through a Log. On the other hand, "
"RecordID is truly an identifier for an instance of "
"LogRecord. It may be set to the record\'s ordinal "
"position, but this is not required." ),
