Azure Service Bus - Peek-Lock Message (Non-Destructive Read)

See more Azure Service Bus Examples

Shows how to atomically retrieve and lock a message from a queue or subscription for processing. The message is guaranteed not to be delivered to other receivers (on the same queue or subscription only) during the lock duration specified in the queue/subscription description.
