Prerequisites

We need the following to implement this solution:

• Visual Studio 2017 update 3 or later
• A valid Azure subscription

If you do not have an Azure subscription, you can get it for free by signing in here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/.

If you have everything mentioned, you can start by following these steps:

1. Log on to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/).
2. In the left navigation bar, click on Service Bus. If unavailable, you can find it by clicking on More Services.

 

3. Click on Add:

4. In the Create namespace dialog, enter a namespace, say, flixone. Select the pricing tier next: Basic, Standard, or Premium.
5. Select your Subscription.
6. Choose an existing resource or create a new one.
7. Select the location where you want to host the namespace.
8. Open a newly created namespace (we just created flixone).

 

9. Now click on Shared access policies.
10. Click on RootManageSharedAccessKey. Refer to the following screenshot:

11. Click on Queues in the main dialog of the flixone namespace.
12. From the Policy: RootManageSharedAccessKey window, note the primary key connection string for further use. Refer to the following screenshot:

13. Click on Name to add a queue (say, flixonequeue), and click on Create (we're using REST values as default values). Refer to the following screenshot:

The preceding image is of Create Queue dialog. In the Create Queue dialog we can create a queue for example in above image we are creating a queue with the name of floxonequeue. Queues can be verified by visiting the Queues dialog.

Now we are ready to create our sender and receiver applications for messages.
