QueueClient can be used for all basic interactions with a Service Bus Queue.

Examples

Create a new QueueClient

IQueueClient queueClient = new QueueClient(
    namespaceConnectionString,
    queueName,
    ReceiveMode.PeekLock,
    RetryExponential);

Send a message to the queue:

byte[] data = GetData();
await queueClient.SendAsync(data);

queueClient.RegisterMessageHandler(
       async (message, token) =>
       {
           // Process the message
           Console.WriteLine($"Received message: SequenceNumber:{message.SystemProperties.SequenceNumber} Body:{Encoding.UTF8.GetString(message.Body)}");

           // Complete the message so that it is not received again.
           // This can be done only if the queueClient is opened in ReceiveMode.PeekLock mode.
           await queueClient.CompleteAsync(message.SystemProperties.LockToken);
       },
       async (exceptionEvent) =>
       {
           // Process the exception
           Console.WriteLine("Exception = " + exceptionEvent.Exception);
           return Task.CompletedTask;
       });

Remarks

Use MessageSender or MessageReceiver for advanced set of functionality. It uses AMQP protocol for communicating with servicebus.

Constructors

QueueClient(ServiceBusConnection, String, ReceiveMode, RetryPolicy)	Creates a new instance of the Queue client on a given ServiceBusConnection
QueueClient(ServiceBusConnectionStringBuilder, ReceiveMode, RetryPolicy)	Instantiates a new QueueClient to perform operations on a queue.
QueueClient(String, String, ITokenProvider, TransportType, ReceiveMode, RetryPolicy)	Creates a new instance of the Queue client using the specified endpoint, entity path, and token provider.
QueueClient(String, String, ReceiveMode, RetryPolicy)	Instantiates a new QueueClient to perform operations on a queue.

Properties

ClientId	Gets the ID to identify this client. This can be used to correlate logs and exceptions. (Inherited from ClientEntity)
IsClosedOrClosing	Returns true if the client is closed or closing. (Inherited from ClientEntity)
OperationTimeout	Duration after which individual operations will timeout.
OwnsConnection	Returns true if connection is owned and false if connection is shared. (Inherited from ClientEntity)
Path	Gets the name of the queue.
PrefetchCount	Prefetch speeds up the message flow by aiming to have a message readily available for local retrieval when and before the application asks for one using Receive. Setting a non-zero value prefetches PrefetchCount number of messages. Setting the value to zero turns prefetch off. Defaults to 0.
QueueName	Gets the name of the queue.
ReceiveMode	Gets the ReceiveMode for the QueueClient.
RegisteredPlugins	Gets a list of currently registered plugins for this QueueClient.
RetryPolicy	Gets the RetryPolicy defined on the client. (Inherited from ClientEntity)
ServiceBusConnection	Connection object to the service bus namespace.

Methods

AbandonAsync(String, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Abandons a Message using a lock token. This will make the message available again for processing.
CancelScheduledMessageAsync(Int64)	Cancels a message that was scheduled.
CloseAsync()	Closes the Client. Closes the connections opened by it. (Inherited from ClientEntity)
CompleteAsync(String)	Completes a Message using its lock token. This will delete the message from the queue.
DeadLetterAsync(String, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Moves a message to the deadletter sub-queue.
DeadLetterAsync(String, String, String)	Moves a message to the deadletter sub-queue.
OnClosingAsync()
RegisterMessageHandler(Func<Message,CancellationToken,Task>, Func<ExceptionReceivedEventArgs,Task>)	Receive messages continuously from the entity. Registers a message handler and begins a new thread to receive messages. This handler(Func<T1,T2,TResult>) is awaited on every time a new message is received by the receiver.
RegisterMessageHandler(Func<Message,CancellationToken,Task>, MessageHandlerOptions)	Receive messages continuously from the entity. Registers a message handler and begins a new thread to receive messages. This handler(Func<T1,T2,TResult>) is awaited on every time a new message is received by the receiver.
RegisterPlugin(ServiceBusPlugin)	Registers a ServiceBusPlugin to be used with this queue client.
RegisterSessionHandler(Func<IMessageSession,Message,CancellationToken,Task>, Func<ExceptionReceivedEventArgs,Task>)	Receive session messages continuously from the queue. Registers a message handler and begins a new thread to receive session-messages. This handler(Func<T1,T2,T3,TResult>) is awaited on every time a new message is received by the queue client.
RegisterSessionHandler(Func<IMessageSession,Message,CancellationToken,Task>, SessionHandlerOptions)	Receive session messages continuously from the queue. Registers a message handler and begins a new thread to receive session-messages. This handler(Func<T1,T2,T3,TResult>) is awaited on every time a new message is received by the queue client.
ScheduleMessageAsync(Message, DateTimeOffset)	Schedules a message to appear on Service Bus at a later time.
SendAsync(IList<Message>)	Sends a list of messages to Service Bus. When called on partitioned entities, messages meant for different partitions cannot be batched together.
SendAsync(Message)	Sends a message to Service Bus.
ThrowIfClosed()	Throw an OperationCanceledException if the object is Closing. (Inherited from ClientEntity)
UnregisterMessageHandlerAsync(TimeSpan)	Unregister message handler from the receiver if there is an active message handler registered. This operation waits for the completion of inflight receive and message handling operations to finish and unregisters future receives on the message handler which previously registered.
UnregisterPlugin(String)	Unregisters a ServiceBusPlugin.
UnregisterSessionHandlerAsync(TimeSpan)	Unregister session handler from the receiver if there is an active session handler registered. This operation waits for the completion of inflight receive and session handling operations to finish and unregisters future receives on the session handler which previously registered.
