Skill Content
# Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus (.NET)
Enterprise messaging SDK for reliable message delivery with queues, topics, subscriptions, and sessions.
Installation
dotnet add package Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus
dotnet add package Azure.Identity**Current Version**: v7.20.1 (stable)
Environment Variables
AZURE_SERVICEBUS_FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAMESPACE=<namespace>.servicebus.windows.net
# Or connection string (less secure)
AZURE_SERVICEBUS_CONNECTION_STRING=Endpoint=sb://...Authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Recommended)
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus;

await using ServiceBusClient client = new(fullyQualifiedNamespace, new DefaultAzureCredential());Connection String
string connectionString = "<connection_string>";
await using ServiceBusClient client = new(connectionString);ASP.NET Core Dependency Injection

ServiceBusAdministrationClient (separate client for CRUD)Core Workflows
1. Send Messages
await using ServiceBusClient client = new(fullyQualifiedNamespace, new DefaultAzureCredential());
ServiceBusSender sender = client.CreateSender("my-queue");
// Single message
ServiceBusMessage message = new("Hello world!");
await sender.SendMessageAsync(message);
// Safe batching (recommended)
using ServiceBusMessageBatch batch = await sender.CreateMessageBatchAsync();
if (batch.TryAddMessage(new ServiceBusMessage("Message 1")))
{
// Message added successfully
}
if (batch.TryAddMessage(new ServiceBusMessage("Message 2")))
{
// Message added successfully
}
await sender.SendMessagesAsync(batch);2. Receive Messages
ServiceBusReceiver receiver = client.CreateReceiver("my-queue");
// Single message
ServiceBusReceivedMessage message = await receiver.ReceiveMessageAsync();
string body = message.Body.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(body);
// Complete the message (removes from queue)
await receiver.CompleteMessageAsync(message);
// Batch receive
IReadOnlyList<ServiceBusReceivedMessage> messages = await receiver.ReceiveMessagesAsync(maxMessages: 10);
foreach (var msg in messages)
{
Console.WriteLine(msg.Body.ToString());
await receiver.CompleteMessageAsync(msg);
}3. Message Settlement
// Complete - removes message from queue
await receiver.CompleteMessageAsync(message);
// Abandon - releases lock, message can be received again
await receiver.AbandonMessageAsync(message);
// Defer - prevents normal receive, use ReceiveDeferredMessageAsync
await receiver.DeferMessageAsync(message);
// Dead Letter - moves to dead letter subqueue
await receiver.DeadLetterMessageAsync(message, "InvalidFormat", "Message body was not valid JSON");4. Background Processing with Processor
ServiceBusProcessor processor = client.CreateProcessor("my-queue", new ServiceBusProcessorOptions
{
AutoCompleteMessages = false,
MaxConcurrentCalls = 2
});
processor.ProcessMessageAsync += async (args) =>
{
try
{
string body = args.Message.Body.ToString();
Console.WriteLine($"Received: {body}");
await args.CompleteMessageAsync(args.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error processing: {ex.Message}");
await args.AbandonMess🎯 Best For
