This example uses a named change tracker to update an application's dashboard with appointment information.

private async Task UpdateDashboard(AppointmentStore store)
{
    AppointmentStoreChangeTracker tracker = store.GetChangeTracker("DashboardUpdater");

    // Check to see if we were already tracking. If not then we don't know
    // what changed and we should update everything.
    if (!tracker.IsTracking)
    {
        tracker.Enable();
        UpdateFullDashboard();

        // Don't return yet. We still want to process any changes which
        // happened while we were updating the dashboard.
    }

    // check for changes
    IReadOnlyList<AppointmentStoreChange> changes;
    do
    {
        changes = await tracker.GetChangeReader().ReadBatchAsync();
        foreach (AppointmentStoreChange change in changes)
        {
            UpdateDashboardWidget(change);
        }
    } while (changes.Count > 0);
}

Remarks

If the string that you pass into this method does not identify an existing an existing AppointmentStoreChangeTracker, this method returns a new AppointmentStoreChangeTracker.
