Sample: Persistent queue listener
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. 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 2010 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 CRM 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 CRM execution context contained in the message to the console, and deletes the message from the queue.
