.NET WPF App message retrieval

Hi Mark,

I’m having trouble trying to retrieve messages from a channel, the latest documentation on the web site doesn’t seem to show examples of how to implement this in C#. Please help in this regard.

Kind Regards,
Labi

@Onkemetse_Labi please check out doc https://backendless.com/docs/android/pubsub_overview.html it shows how to use messaging for android. Approach for .NET is pretty much the same.

Problem with the documentation is that in Java/Android you can create a Channel Object and instantiate it. In C# .Net you can only subscribe to a channel and not instantiate that Because only IChannel is available. Please provide an example in C# for me of how to subscribe to the channel and add a Listener… :slight_smile:

@Onkemetse_Labi
IChannel has an implementation you should not worry about it. Here it is an example that I have checked right now:

using System;
using BackendlessAPI;


namespace TestMessaging
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
            Backendless.InitApp("your-app-id", "your-api-key");
            Backendless.Messaging.Subscribe().AddMessageListener<String>((message) => Console.WriteLine(message));
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

I have published through backendless console two messages:

test messageing
my new message

and output is:

Hello World!
BACKENDLESS LOG:try to subscribe RTSubscription{id='6d97540a-eb0a-46d5-8087-ee2d61233c05', callback=BackendlessAPI.RT.RTCallback`1[System.Object], subscriptionName=PUB_SUB_CONNECT, options=System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object]}

Thanks a million … I assume I can pass the message into a string object or a list?
