Utility Methods API for C# SDK

The methods on this page are utility methods that don't fit into other categories.

Request execution

Use try/catch when working with the C# SDK.

If a request has invalid parameters (for example, a missing required field), the SDK throws an exception. If the request reaches the server but fails (server error or network issue), the error details are available in the returned status.

try
{
    PNResult<PNPublishResult> publishResponse = await pubnub.Publish()
        .Message("Why do Java developers wear glasses? Because they can't C#.")
        .Channel("my_channel")
        .ExecuteAsync();

    PNStatus status = publishResponse.Status;

    Console.WriteLine("Server status code : " + status.StatusCode.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Request can't be executed due to error: {ex.Message}");
}

Destroy frees up the threads and allows for clean exit.
