The following code example shows how to obtain the role instance IDs for defined roles:

foreach (var roleDefinition in RoleEnvironment.Roles)

      Trace.WriteLine("Role instance ID: " + roleInstance.Id, "Information");
   }
}

Note

At least one internal endpoint must be defined for a role to enable instances to be known at runtime. For more information about defining internal endpoints, see How to Define Internal Endpoints for a Role.
