I have a C# application that connects to a NATS service to send and accept NATS messages. It is working well for some time. However I need to build in some logic that if the NATS service is stopped that I take action in letting the user know that we can't send or receive messages. I looked at examples on the internet and applied it accordingly but when testing I see no response as if the events are not triggered. When I stop the NATS service I am expecting the event to fire and a message to be displayed. Can anyone show me what I am missing?
private void OpenNatsConnections()
{
LocalLog("Opening connection to Nats");
// Setup connection options
Options Opts = ConnectionFactory.GetDefaultOptions();
Opts.Url = appSettings.GetNatsUrl();
Opts.User = appSettings.NATSUsername;
Opts.Password = appSettings.NATSPassword;
Opts.AsyncErrorEventHandler += (sender, args) =>
{
LocalLog("AsyncErrorEventHandler");
};
Opts.ClosedEventHandler += (sender, args) =>
{
LocalLog("ClosedEventHandler");
};
Opts.DisconnectedEventHandler += (sender, args) =>
{
LocalLog("DisconnectedEventHandler");
};
// Open Nats connection, assign event handeler and subscribe to listening channel
try
{
NATSConnection = new ConnectionFactory().CreateConnection(Opts);
AsyncNATSMessageHandler = (sender, args) =>
{
string MessageData = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(args.Message.Data);
DetermineMessageType(MessageData, args.Message.Reply);
};
SubscribeToNATS();
LocalLog("Connected to Nats");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
LocalLog("Critical!! Connection to NATS failed! Error Message - " + e.Message);
}
}
