Remarks

Important

The current Message Buffers feature, including their management protocol, will remain supported for backwards compatibility. However, the general recommendation is that you explicitly change client code to use the new Queue feature. For more information, see Service Bus Queues, Topics, and Subscriptions.

The message buffer policy controls the type of security used on the message buffer, as well as the lifespan of the message buffer, and what to do when the buffer fills up with messages. For more information on setting message buffer policy, see How to: Configure an AppFabric Service Bus Message Buffer.

Examples

The following code example describes how to create a message buffer policy and use it to instantiate a new message buffer.

string serviceNamespace = "myServiceNamespace";

MessageVersion messageVersion = MessageVersion.Soap12WSAddressing10;
string messageAction = "urn:Message";

// Configure credentials
TransportClientEndpointBehavior behavior = new TransportClientEndpointBehavior();
behavior.CredentialType = TransportClientCredentialType.SharedSecret;
behavior.Credentials.SharedSecret.IssuerName = "...";
behavior.Credentials.SharedSecret.IssuerSecret = "...";

// Configure buffer policy
MessageBufferPolicy policy = new MessageBufferPolicy
{
    ExpiresAfter = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2.0d),
    MaxMessageCount = 100
};

// Create buffer
Uri bufferName = new Uri("https://" + serviceNamespace + ".servicebus.windows.net/services/MyBuffer");
MessageBufferClient client = MessageBufferClient.CreateMessageBuffer(behavior, bufferName, policy, messageVersion);

// Send some messages
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
    client.Send(Message.CreateMessage(messageVersion, messageAction, "Message #" + i);
}

Message message;
string content;

// Retrieve a message (destructive read)
message = client.Retrieve();
content = message.GetBody<string>();
message.Close();

Console.WriteLine("Retrieve message content: {0}", content);

// Retrieve a message (peek/lock)
message = client.PeekLock();
content = message.GetBody<string>();

Console.WriteLine("PeekLock message content: {0}", content);

// Delete previously locked message
client.DeleteLockedMessage(message);
message.Close();

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
