[dba-VB] What is EventArg?

The MS "convention" is that an event method raises an event and passes out two parameters, one of 
which is EventArg e.

What is e?

I need to pass back status from the object raising the event and EventArgs seems like what I should 
be using to send back the status, but e has not methods for directly adding status like information.

Am I supposed to create a status class and have it inherit (descend from) EventArgs?
