{
   // Get the trigger context.
   SqlTriggerContext triggContext = SqlContext.TriggerContext;

   switch (triggContext.TriggerAction)
   {
      case TriggerAction.Insert:

      // Do something in response to the INSERT.

      break;
   }
}

<SqlTrigger(Name:="SalesAudit", Target:="[dbo].[SalesInfo]", Event:="FOR INSERT")> _
Public Shared Sub SalesAudit()
        
   Dim triggContext As SqlTriggerContext
