Is it possible to access SQL Server Service Broker from a C# app?

Question

I want to use the SQL Server Service Broker to generate a message (inside SQL Server) and for it to be read in an external C# app.

I am limited to Windows 2003 running SQL Server 2005. I've read a bunch of articles, that allude to this being a possibility, but I do not see an example anywhere. Is this possible?

Answer 1

T-SQL has statements for accessing Service Broker: SEND, RECEIVE and others. You can use ADO.NET to execute them.
