Sample: Two-way listener
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015
This sample registers a remote service plug-in that executes whenever a Microsoft Dynamics CRM message is posted to a two-way endpoint on the Microsoft Azure Service Bus. When the plug-in executes, it prints to the console the contents of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM execution context contained in the message.
Requirements
This sample code is Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:
SDK\SampleCode\CS\Azure\TwoWayListener\TwoWayListener.cs
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to write a Microsoft Azure Service Bus Listener for a two-way endpoint contract.
