Remarks
Each hosted event provider may use required and optional arguments. For example, the standard file system watcher event provider requires three arguments (such as WatchDirectory) and has four optional arguments. If you are using a standard event provider, arguments are described in the Standard Event Providers section. If you are using a custom event provider, the provider should include documentation about its arguments.
Example
The following example shows an Argument element. It sets the value for an argument passed in to a hosted event provider.
<Argument>
<Name>PickupFile</Name>
<Value>C:\EventInput\events.txt</Value>
</Argument>
