Azure Queue sits inside your Azure storage and allows messages to flow through a queue system (similar in some ways, but not as fully featured as MSMQ, TIBCO etc.).<\/p>\n
Creating a Queue<\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously we can create a queue using the Azure Portal or Azure Storage Explorer, but let’s create queue via code, using the following<\/p>\n Sending a message to our Queue<\/strong><\/p>\n Adding a message to the queue is as simple as, the following<\/p>\n Peeking at a Queue<\/strong><\/p>\n We can peek at a message on the queue, which basically means we can look at the message without affect it, using<\/p>\n As the name suggests, in this instance we’re peeking at the current or at least, most recent message. But we can also use the PeekMessages<\/em> method to enumerate over a number of messages on the queue. <\/p>\n Here’s an example of peeking at 32 messages (it appears 32 is the maximum number of messages we’re allowed to peek, currently anything above this causes a bad request exception)<\/p>\n\r\nvar storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(\r\n CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting(\r\n "StorageConnectionString"));\r\n\r\nvar client = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();\r\nvar queue = client.GetQueueReference("my-queue");\r\nqueue.CreateIfNotExists();\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\nvar storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(\r\n CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting(\r\n "StorageConnectionString"));\r\n\r\nvar client = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();\r\nvar queue = client.GetQueueReference("my-queue");\r\n\r\nvar message = new CloudQueueMessage("Hello World");\r\nqueue.AddMessage(message);\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\nvar storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(\r\n CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting(\r\n "StorageConnectionString"));\r\n\r\nvar client = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();\r\nvar queue = client.GetQueueReference("my-queue");\r\n\r\nvar message = queue.PeekMessage();\r\nConsole.WriteLine(message.AsString);\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\nforeach (var message in queue.PeekMessages(32))\r\n{\r\n Console.WriteLine(message.AsString);\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
