Can you/should you use SQL Server Service Broker with .NET applications?

Viewed 21500

I have many operations in the database that need to trigger application code. Currently I am using database polling, but I hear that SQL Server Service Broker can give me MSMQ-like functionality.

  1. Can I listen to SQL Server Service Broker queues from .NET applications running on a different machine?
  2. If so, should I do it?
  3. If not, what would you recommend?
