Remarks

Distributors govern the formatting and distribution of notifications. Applications deployed on a single server can have one distributor. Applications scaled out across multiple servers can have one distributor per server.

Use the methods of the DistributorCollection class to add or remove Distributor objects.

Example

The following examples show how to define a distributor and add it to an application using the Distributors property:

// Define distributor for application
Distributor distributor = 
    new Distributor(myApplication, "Distributor");
distributor.SystemName = notificationServicesHost;
distributor.QuantumDuration = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 15);
distributor.ThreadPoolSize = 2;
myApplication.Distributors.Add(distributor);

' Define distributor for application
Dim distributor As Distributor = New Distributor( _
    myApplication, "Distributor")
distributor.SystemName = notificationServicesHost
distributor.QuantumDuration = New TimeSpan(0, 0, 15)
distributor.ThreadPoolSize = 2
myApplication.Distributors.Add(distributor)
