.Net Standard user-defined functions for Azure Stream Analytics will be retired on 30 September 2024. After that date, it won’t be possible to use the feature. Please transition to JavaScript user-defined functions for Azure Stream Analytics.
We released support for .Net Standard user-defined functions in public preview for Azure Stream Analytics to let customers invoke their own functions written in any .NET Standard language (C#, F#, etc.) to extend the Stream Analytics query language. While in preview it became a valuable tool for many, but overall adoption didn’t grow as much as we hoped. As a result of this ongoing effort, we have made the difficult decision to retire .Net Standard user-defined functions for Azure Stream Analytics.
Required action
We highly recommend you replace your .net standard user-defined functions with JavaScript user-defined functions in Azure Stream Analytics. JavaScript user-defined functions support stateless, compute-only scalar functions that don’t require external connectivity. The return value of a function can only be a scalar (single) value. After you add a JavaScript user-defined function to a job, you can use the function anywhere in the query, like a built-in scalar function.
