Azure Service Bus - Unlock Message

See more Azure Service Bus Examples

Shows how to unlock a message for processing by other receivers on a specified queue or subscription. This operation deletes the lock object, causing the message to be unlocked.

bool success = false;

//  Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

//  This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  Make the initial connection.
//  A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many Azure Service Bus REST API calls.
//  The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
//  then it will be automatically re-established as needed.

//  The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application

//  To unlock a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
//  When the message was locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
//  was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
//  JSON such as the following:

//  	{
//  	  "DeliveryCount": 2,
//  	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000003,
//  	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
//  	  "Label": "M2",
//  	  "LockToken": "0a13ee8a-be32-4458-89e0-5e1401caa6a0",
//  	  "LockedUntilUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 18:13:12 GMT",
//  	  "MessageId": "7bea513a6ddb49089e07bfbee26d85bd",
//  	  "SequenceNumber": 3,
//  	  "State": "Active",
//  	  "TimeToLive": 922337203685.47754
//  	}

//  The path for unlocking a message is constructed as follows, depending on
//  whether it is a message on a queue or subscription:
//  
//  (for a queue)
//  /{queuePath}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
//  
//  (for a subscription)
//  /{topicPath}/subscriptions/{subscriptionName}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}

//  This example will build a path to unlock a message contained in a subscription.

//  Use the PUT HTTP verb to unlock the message.
