Enterprise messaging SDK for reliable message delivery with queues, topics, subscriptions, and sessions.
AZURE_SERVICEBUS_FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAMESPACE=<namespace>.servicebus.windows.net # Required: Service Bus fully qualified namespace
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
AZURE_SERVICEBUS_CONNECTION_STRING=Endpoint=sb://... # Alternative to Entra ID auth
Authentication
Microsoft Entra Token Credential
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus;
string fullyQualifiedNamespace = "<namespace>.servicebus.windows.net";
// Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
DefaultAzureCredential.DefaultEnvironmentVariableName
);
// Or use a specific credential directly in production:
// See https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-dotnet#credential-classes
// var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential();
await using ServiceBusClient client = new(fullyQualifiedNamespace, credential);
Connection String
string connectionString = "<connection_string>";
await using ServiceBusClient client = new(connectionString);
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");
