Parameters

name
Type: SystemString
The name for the new AFNotification object. The name must be unique within the collection. If the name ends with an asterisk (*), then a unique name will be generated based on the supplied name.

target

If the template parameter is specified and the notification template's AnalysisTemplate property is specified, then this parameter specifies the Target for the new AFAnalysis that is created from the AFAnalysisTemplate defined by the analysis template's Target property.

Return Value

Type: AFNotification

Remarks

The type of AFNotification created by this method is determined by the template's InstanceType property. By default, the type will be AFNotification, but could be any type derived from an AFNotification.

The default value of the Description property of the new notification is the same as the description of the template; however, it can be changed by the user. All other properties are defined by the template and cannot be modified without changing the template.
