Hi Karim, No that's not my question.
Apart from a custom message I also wish to log some custom event data i.e. a collection of properties. The target for this will eventually be a SQL table which has an XML type column i.e. rathert han just adding a customerID I might have 10 different properties to add. Using the global context for this is not an acceptable solution - assuggested in one of the other threads I read.
