Initializes the delivery protocol.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices (in microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub Initialize ( _
    channelArgs As StringDictionary, _
    multicast As Boolean, _
    notificationStatusCallback As NotificationStatusCallback _
)

void Initialize (
    StringDictionary channelArgs,
    bool multicast,
    NotificationStatusCallback notificationStatusCallback
)

void Initialize (
    StringDictionary^ channelArgs, 
    bool multicast, 
    NotificationStatusCallback^ notificationStatusCallback
)

void Initialize (
    StringDictionary channelArgs, 
    boolean multicast, 
    NotificationStatusCallback notificationStatusCallback
)

function Initialize (
    channelArgs : StringDictionary, 
    multicast : boolean, 
    notificationStatusCallback : NotificationStatusCallback
)

Parameters

channelArgs
A StringDictionary object containing the names and values of the initialization arguments for the delivery channel. The names and values are from the instance configuration.

multicast
A Boolean value indicating whether the notification class uses multicast delivery.

notificationStatusCallback
A NotificationStatusCallback delegate that the delivery protocol can use to send notification delivery status information back to the distributor.

Remarks

The distributor calls this method to notify the delivery protocol that it must perform initialization. The channelArgs parameter provides the initialization arguments for the delivery protocol. The channelArgs parameter values are collected by the distributor from the delivery channel definition. The protocol should store the value of the nsc parameter for later use to indicate notification status.

Example

For an example of how to implement the Initialize method, see the IDeliveryProtocol interface topic.
