Creating a Connection Monitor Instance

Instantiate the ConnectionMonitor service and store it in a WorkItem

Call the static CreateFromConfiguration method of the ConnectionMonitorFactory class. You can specify the name of the section in the application's configuration file that contains the definitions of the connections and networks configured for the application, or you can omit this parameter to use the default section name "ConnectionMonitor."

// Use the default section name "ConnectionMonitor."
ConnectionMonitor sampleMonitor
= ConnectionMonitorFactory.CreateFromConfiguration();

// Instead, you can specify the section name in the configuration file.
String configurationName = "SampleConnectionSection";
ConnectionMonitor sampleMonitor
= ConnectionMonitorFactory.CreateFromConfiguration(configurationName);

If you are building a Composite UI Application Block application, you can add the ConnectionMonitor instance to the Services collection of your WorkItem so that it is available by using ObjectBuilder injection techniques.

myWorkItem.Services.Add(sampleMonitor);
