Console Client

The following are the steps to create a console application. First is to create a new console application project illustrating how to send a message to an IGL service bus:

Using Package Manager add a reference to the IGL Nuget packages (Note: visit the links below to get the current version number):

• IGL.Common
• IGL.Client

Be sure to specify the project when adding the reference:

In the Program.cs file, the information on how to connect to the specific IndieGamesLab framework needs to be added (Please see the Service page for more information on determining these values):

// set the following once - this is using ACS
IGL.Client.Configuration.IssuerName = "[IssuerName]";
IGL.Client.Configuration.IssuerSecret = "[IssuerSecret]";
IGL.Client.Configuration.ServiceNamespace = "[ServiceNamespace]";

The next step will be to create the message you want to send:

var gameevent = new GameEvent
{
Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>()
{
{ "PlayerId", "somePlayerId" },
{ "PlayerName", "Joe Smith" }
}
};

And finally the SubmitGameEvent() method is called specifying the queue to send the message to, an event id and the created GameEvent.

IGL.Client.ServiceBusWriter.SubmitGameEvent("gameevents", 100, gameevent)
