Remarks

Endpoints are used by role instances to communicate externally (InputEndpoint) with other applications and internally (InternalEndpoint) with other role instances. Endpoints are defined in the service model for the hosted service. For more information about defining endpoints, see Enabling Communication for Role Instances in Windows Azure and Azure Service Definition Schema (.csdef File).

The following code example shows how to retrieve endpoint information from role instances:

foreach (var role in RoleEnvironment.Roles)
{
   foreach (var roleInst in role.Value.Instances)
   {
      foreach (RoleInstanceEndpoint instanceEndpoint in roleInst.InstanceEndpoints.Values)
      {
         Trace.WriteLine("Instance endpoint IP address and port:" + instanceEndpoint.IPEndpoint, "Information");
      }
   }
}
