(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Azure Service Bus - Create Topic

Creates an Azure Service Bus Topic.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat Universal Windows Platform (UWP) / WinRT Downloads Chilkat for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

' 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
