The main program:

// Logs OPC UA Alarms&Conditions event notifications into an XML file.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA;

        {
            // Define which server we will work with.
            UAEndpointDescriptor endpointDescriptor =
                "opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:62544/Quickstarts/AlarmConditionServer";

            Console.WriteLine("Starting up...");
            var xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(EasyUAEventNotificationEventArgs));
            var xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("UAEvents.xml", new XmlWriterSettings

                CloseOutput = true
            });
            // The root element can have any name you need, but the name below also allows reading the log back as .NET array
            xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("ArrayOfEasyUAEventNotificationEventArgs");

            Console.WriteLine("Logging events for 30 seconds...");
            int handle = EasyUAClient.SharedInstance.SubscribeEvent(endpointDescriptor, UAObjectIds.Server, 
                samplingInterval:1000,

                    xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, eventArgs);

            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(30 * 1000);

            Console.WriteLine();

            EasyUAClient.SharedInstance.UnsubscribeMonitoredItem(handle);
            xmlWriter.WriteEndElement();    // not really necessary - XmlWriter would write the end tag for us anyway
            xmlWriter.Close();

            Console.WriteLine("Finished.");
        }
    }
