Sample: Persistent queue listener
Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises).Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package.This code can be found in the following location in the download package:
SampleCode\CS\Azure\PersistentQueueListener\PersistentQueueListener.cs
Requirements
This sample code requires the following additional Microsoft Visual Studio project reference: Microsoft.ServiceBus. The Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll assembly can be found in the Microsoft Azure SDK.
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to write a Microsoft Azure Service Bus listener application for a persistent queue endpoint contract.
The listener waits for a Microsoft Dynamics 365 message to be posted to the service bus and to be available in the endpoint queue. When a message is available in the queue, the listener reads the message, prints the Microsoft Dynamics 365 execution context contained in the message to the console, and deletes the message from the queue.
