Service Bus: want to manage topics and subscriptions via connection string

I’m trying to use Azure Service Bus pub/sub from .NET Core, by upgrading my net451 wrapper library to netstandard13/16.

On guidance from https://github.com/azure/azure-service-bus-dotnet, I’m looking at Microsoft.Azure.Management.ServiceBus.

Previously, I could do this:

      NamespaceManager = NamespaceManager.CreateFromConnectionString(ConnectionString);

      // then...
      if (!NamespaceManager.TopicExists(name))
      {
          if (createIfNecessary)
          {
              NamespaceManager.CreateTopic(name);
          }
      }

Now, it looks like I have Microsoft.Azure.Management.ServiceBus.ServiceBusManagementClient.Topics.Get, which immediately wants a resource group.

All I have is a connection string with Endpoint, SharedAccessKeyName and SharedAccessKey.

Is there a .NET Core equivalent for what I’m trying here?

Hi @kierenj:

As @SeanFeldman mentioned, this is possible in the current version of the Service Bus client library, which has a embedded management surface in the Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus.Management namespace. For starting off, you may want to have a look at the ManagementClient for the API reference and the ServiceBusScope class in the test suite for a usage example.

just found this … while searching https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49421196/programatically-create-service-bus-subscription-using-net-standard

private async Task CreateTopicSubscriptions() { var client = new ManagementClient(ServiceBusConnectionString); for (int i = 0; i < Subscriptions.Length; i++) { if (!await client.SubscriptionExistsAsync(TopicName, Subscriptions[i])) { await client.CreateSubscriptionAsync(new SubscriptionDescription(TopicName, Subscriptions[i])); } } }
