For simplicity and quick turn-around, the Analytics SDK offers a generic

CustomEvent

class that you can use for any custom event in a very similar way to the plain dictionary API used in earlier SDK versions. This comes at the cost of the type safety and validation options offered by using dedicated sub-classes for each type of event, but may be useful during migration or prototyping.


CustomEvent myEvent = new CustomEvent("MyEvent"){    { "fabulousString", "woah!" },    { "peculiarBool", true },    { "sparklingInt", 1337 },    { "spectacularFloat", 313.37f },    { "timelessTimestamp", DateTime.Now }};AnalyticsService.Instance.RecordEvent(myEvent);

Warning

Although the parameter values are taken in as

object

type, values must actually be one of the following types:

string

int

long

float

double

bool

DateTime

. If you attempt to add a value of an unsupported type, the

CustomEvent

class throws an

ArgumentException

DateTime

support was introduced in version 6.2.0 of the SDK.
