 # Receive events with the Event Processor Host in .NET Standard
 
-This sample shows how to write a .NET Core console application that receives a set of events from an event hub by using the **Event Processor Host** library. You can run the solution as-is, replacing the strings with your event hub and storage account values. The sample is also [available as a tutorial](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-dotnet-standard-getstarted-receive-eph).
+**Note:** This sample uses the legacy Event Hubs library `Microsoft.Azure.EventHubs.Processor` to write a .NET Core console application that receives a set of events from an Event Hub instance. We strongly encourage you to refer to the [quick start that uses the new library `Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Processor`](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-dotnet-standard-getstarted-send#receive-events) instead.
