You are developing a C# application that needs to publish telemetry events to an Azure Event Grid custom topic. You plan to use the Azure SDK for .NET (specifically the Azure.Messaging.EventGrid NuGet package). Which sequence of steps must you perform in your code to publish the events?
- 1Retrieve the custom topic endpoint URI and access key from your application configuration.
- 2Instantiate the EventGridPublisherClient using the endpoint URI and AzureKeyCredential.
- 3Construct a collection of EventGridEvent objects populated with event details such as subject, event type, and data payload.
- 4Invoke SendEventsAsync on the publisher client, passing the collection of events.
Answer
The correct sequence of steps to publish events is to first retrieve the custom topic endpoint and key, then instantiate the EventGridPublisherClient, next construct the collection of EventGridEvent objects, and finally invoke SendEventsAsync to transmit the events.
To publish events, you must first fetch the configuration settings (endpoint and key), configure the client with those credentials, prepare the list of events to send, and finally call the send method on the client.
