A role is a component of an application that performs specific functionality, such as running a website or performing background tasks. A role instance is a running copy of the role in Windows Azure or the Windows Azure Compute Emulator. A role must have endpoints defined to communicate internally and externally. The following code example shows how to retrieve endpoint information for the current role instance:
var roleInstance = RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance;
foreach (RoleInstanceEndpoint instanceEndpoint in roleInstance.InstanceEndpoints.Values)
{
Trace.WriteLine("Instance endpoint address and port: " + instanceEndpoint.IPEndpoint, "Information");
Trace.WriteLine("Protocol for the endpoint: " + , instanceEndpoint.Protocol, "Information");
}
