ServiceBrokerListener

Cross-platform .NET 4.0 (C# 4.0) and .NET Core compatible component which receives SQL Server table changes into your .net code.

Take a look how it works: http://sbl.azurewebsites.net

How To Use

  1. Copy SqlDependecyEx class from ServiceBrokerListener.Domain project into your solution.

  2. Make sure that Service Broker is enabled for your database.

    ALTER DATABASE test SET ENABLE_BROKER
    
    -- For SQL Express
    ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::test TO userTest
    
  3. Use the class as in example below:

    // See constructor optional parameters to configure it according to your needs
    var listener = new SqlDependencyEx(connectionString, "YourDatabase", "YourTable");
    
    // e.Data contains actual changed data in the XML format
    listener.TableChanged += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine("Your table was changed!");
    
    // After you call the Start method you will receive table notifications with 
    // the actual changed data in the XML format
    listener.Start();
    
    // ... Your code is here 
    
    // Don't forget to stop the listener somewhere!
    listener.Stop();
    
  4. Enjoy!

How to use for multiple tables

All you need to do is to create multiple listeners with different identities as shown below:

var listener1 = new SqlDependencyEx(connectionString, "YourDatabase", "YourTable1", identity: 1);
var listener2 = new SqlDependencyEx(connectionString, "YourDatabase", "YourTable2", identity: 2);

How to use in multiple apps

You must create listeners with unique identities for each app. So, only one listener with a specific identity should exist at the moment. This is made in order to make sure that resources are cleaned up. For more information and best practices see @cdfell comment and this answer.

Application 1:

// identities are different
var listener = new SqlDependencyEx(connectionString, "YourDatabase", "YourTable", identity: 1);

Application 2:

// identities are different
var listener = new SqlDependencyEx(connectionString, "YourDatabase", "YourTable", identity: 2);

How to track UPDATEs only

The listenerType constructor parameter configures SqlDependencyEx to fire an event for different notification types (can fire on INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE separately or together)

var listener = new SqlDependencyEx(connectionString, "YourDatabase",
             "YourTable1", listenerType: SqlDependencyEx.NotificationTypes.Update);
