Under the hood of NServiceBus: Features

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000

In the previous posts we looked at EndpointConfiguration and SettingsHolder as the basic building blocks of extending NServiceBus. These classes give us a way to extend configuration but how do we use that configuration to do something?

That’s where Features come in.

In the last post I explained that EndpointConfiguration is really just a wrapper around a SettingsHolder and how to use the GetSettings() extension method in the AdvancedExtensibility namespace to get access to it.

So once you have access to a SettingsHolder, what can you do with it?

I’ve always liked reading through code. There’s something about exploring a codebase and discovering all of the little tricks and architectural patterns that have been used. I always learn something new.

I’ve been working at Particular Software for just over 4 years now, so it should come as no surprise that I have spent some time digging in the NServiceBus code¹. I thought I would write a blog post to cover some of the things that I see along the way.

I used to blog and I’ve been meaning to get back to it. This tweet has finally prompted me to do something about it:
