Multiple Events

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The following illustration shows that events can occur anywhere in the Web Store, and that your same event sink class can be called for numerous Web Store events.

You register with the server to receive notifications of events. When registering for an event, you define the location in the store for which you want your sink class to be notified. This location is called the scope of the event. Event scope is covered in the Event Scope section of Event Registration.

Note   The Exchange sink source calls each event sink method on a unique out of process thread.

When handling events from different locations (scopes) within the Web Store, you may need to pass contextual information to the sink. This is covered in Contextual Information for a Sink, but is best understood after you read about Event Registration.
