Using Message Brokers with .NET
Message brokers are powerful tools for building distributed systems that require efficient and reliable communication between components. In .NET applications, you can use message brokers like Apache Kafka to enable asynchronous messaging and event-driven architectures.
To use message brokers with .NET, you can leverage libraries like Confluent.Kafka, which provides a .NET client for interacting with Kafka.
Here's an example of how you can produce a message to a Kafka topic using Confluent.Kafka in a .NET application:
TEXT/X-CSHARP
1using Confluent.Kafka;
2using System;

4public class Program
5{
6 public static void Main()
7 {
8 var config = new ProducerConfig
9 {
10 BootstrapServers = "localhost:9092",
11 ClientId = "sample-producer"
12 };
13
14 // Create a producer
15 using (var producer = new ProducerBuilder<Null, string>(config).Build())
16 {
17 string topic = "my-topic";
18 string message = "Hello, Message Brokers!";
19
20 // Produce a message
21 producer.ProduceAsync(topic, new Message<Null, string> { Value = message });
22
23 // Wait for the message to be delivered
24 producer.Flush(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
25
26 Console.WriteLine("Message produced: " + message);
27 }
28 }
29}xxxxxxxxxx29
using Confluent.Kafka;using System;public class Program{ public static void Main() { var config = new ProducerConfig { BootstrapServers = "localhost:9092", ClientId = "sample-producer" }; // Create a producer using (var producer = new ProducerBuilder<Null, string>(config).Build()) { string topic = "my-topic"; string message = "Hello, Message Brokers!"; // Produce a message producer.ProduceAsync(topic, new Message<Null, string> { Value = message }); // Wait for the message to be delivered producer.Flush(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)); Console.WriteLine("Message produced: " + message); } }}OUTPUT
