Triggering an Event with the .NET SDK
Triggering an event that the ThingWorx Platform will receive (if subscribed) is straight forward.
 |
Triggering an event does not send the event to the ThingWorx Platform. To send the event to the platform, you must call the updateSubscribedProperties() method of the VirtualThing class.
|
The example below triggers an event that returns an error message with a timestamp:
ValueCollection eventInfo = new ValueCollection();
eventInfo.Add("ErrorMessage", new StringPrimitive("There was an error…"));
base.queueEvent("ErrorEvent", DateTime.Now, eventInfo);
eventInfo.Add("ErrorMessage", new StringPrimitive("There was an error…"));
base.queueEvent("ErrorEvent", DateTime.Now, eventInfo);
|
|
In the reference to the base object in base.queueEvent above, base is an instance of VirtualThing.
