MQTTNet - High perf IOT comms for .NET - https://github.com/dotnet/MQTTnet

I'm trying to use MQTT.Net and so far everything works.. except for event handling.

Like the other guy said it depends on the requirements, but you could implement your own mqtt server with MQTTnet with a few lines of code

For the server we used mosquitto because we already used it in the past (and it's relatively simple), for the client MQTTnet because it's .net and it seemed good enough (mosquitto has a client library too but it's C so I'd have to write some interop). It's a simple protocol so it shouldn't really matter which implementation you use.

We are going to use MQTTNet as the foundation for this article, although the same concepts can be applied with any other MQTT client.

For example, I used MQTTnet which is a very nice (high performance & extensible) library. And it's free/open source. If you're not writing your server code in .NET, then look for whatever broker libraries are available on your server platform.

For example, @nitaro (idk the username) shared this GitHub project in one of the past posts that I thought would be a great place to start: https://github.com/dodyg/practical-aspnetcore/tree/net6.0/exercises/pathway-1. I usually work on projects on my own but it’s so much more helpful just having others who are doing the same thing at the same time to bounce ideas off of and get support from!

Check also the samples at https://github.com/dodyg/practical-aspnetcore. It's all tiny samples that you can try out to see some functionalities.

and I maintain a pretty popular open source project https://github.com/dodyg/practical-aspnetcore
