Description
It is a message broker with message queues and publish-subscribe topics.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Queue | Allows for Sending and Receiving of messages. Often used for point-to-point communication. |
Topic | As opposed to Queues, Topics are better suited to publish/subscribe scenarios. A topic can be sent to, but requires a subscription, of which there can be multiple in parallel, to consume from. |
Subscription | The mechanism to consume from a Topic. Each subscription is independent, and receives a copy of each message sent to the topic. Rules and Filters can be used to tailor which messages are received by a specific subscription. |
Configure the service bus on Azure
- Azure portal → Service Bus → Add
- Create namespace: the namespace will be the url use by the service bus [namespace].servicebus.windows.net
- Pricing tiers: Basic, Standard (Topics), Premium (private network, dedicated capacity)
- Once deployed, go to the newly create service bus namespace
- add queue
- add topic then add subscription
Sender
Add Nuget package Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus
Program.cs |
private const string ConnectionString = "get it from Azure Portal → Service Bus Namespace → Shared access policy → Primary Connection String";
private const string QueueName = "queue1";
private const string TopicName = "topic1";
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
var client = new ServiceBusClient(ConnectionString);
try // use await using in C# 8 / .Net Core
{
var sender = client.CreateSender(QueueName);
var sender = client.CreateSender(TopicName);
var message = new ServiceBusMessage("Hello!");
await sender.SendMessageAsync(message);
Console.WriteLine($"Sent {message.Body}");
}
finally
{
await client.DisposeAsync();
}
}
|
Receiver
Add Nuget package Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus
![]() |
1 receiver for 1 subscription. |
Program.cs |
private const string ConnectionString = "get it from Azure Portal → Service Bus Namespace → Shared access policy → Primary Connection String";
private const string QueueName = "queue1";
private const string SubscriptionName = "subscription1";
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
var client = new ServiceBusClient(ConnectionString);
var processor = client.CreateProcessor(QueueName);
var processor = client.CreateProcessor(TopicName, SubscriptionName);
try
{
processor.ProcessMessageAsync += MessageHandler;
processor.ProcessErrorAsync += ErrorHandler;
await processor.StartProcessingAsync();
Console.ReadKey();
}
finally
{
await processor.DisposeAsync();
await client.DisposeAsync();
}
}
static async Task MessageHandler(ProcessMessageEventArgs args)
{
string body = args.Message.Body.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(body);
// we can evaluate application logic and use that to determine how to settle the message.
await args.CompleteMessageAsync(args.Message);
}
static Task ErrorHandler(ProcessErrorEventArgs args)
{
// the error source tells me at what point in the processing an error occurred
Console.WriteLine(args.ErrorSource);
// the fully qualified namespace is available
Console.WriteLine(args.FullyQualifiedNamespace);
// as well as the entity path
Console.WriteLine(args.EntityPath);
Console.WriteLine(args.Exception.ToString());
return Task.CompletedTask;
}

ServiceBusProcessorOptions
var options = new ServiceBusProcessorOptions
{
ReceiveMode = ServiceBusReceiveMode.PeekLock,
AutoCompleteMessages = true,
MaxAutoLockRenewalDuration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5), // renew the lock automatically till duration
MaxConcurrentCalls = 1, // number of messages processed concurrently
PrefetchCount = 0, // quietly acquire messages, up to the PrefetchCount limit
SubQueue = SubQueue.None
};
var processor = client.CreateProcessor(TopicName, SubscriptionName, options);
|
Receive mode | Description |
---|---|
PeekLock | The client sends a request to receive a message from Service Bus. Then it sends a request to complete / abandon / defer / dead-letter the message. |
ReceiveAndDelete | The send of a request to receive a message and the send of the request to complete the message are combined in a single request. This reduces the overall number of operations, and can improve the overall message throughput. This performance gain comes at the risk of losing messages. |
Auto-complete messages | Description |
---|---|
true | Automatically complete messages after the message handler has completed processing without any exception raised. No need to call await args.CompleteMessageAsync(message);
|
false | Don't complete the message processing automatically. A request is required to manually complete / abandon / defer / dead-letter the message. |
SubQueue | Description |
---|---|
None | No subqueue |
DeadLetter | Add a secondary subqueue to hold messages that can't be delivered to any receiver. |
TransferDeadLetter | Add a secondary subqueue to hold messages that can't be delivered to any receiver when the following conditions apply:
