Adding Message in a Windows Azure Queue

In this post I will show you code snippet to add message to an azure queue. I have written a function returning a Boolean value and taking a string input parameter to add as a message to the queue.
 

1. Create instance of cloud storage account
   
   
    
2. Create a client of azure queue
   
   
    
3. Get the reference of particular queue. Create queue if does not exist.
   
   
    
4. Add message to queue
   
   
   

For your reference, the full source code is given below,

   public bool AddMessageinQueue(string MessageToAdd, string QueueName)
        {
            try
            {
                CloudStorageAccount account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue("DataConnectionString"
);
                CloudQueueClient queueClient = account.CreateCloudQueueClient();
                CloudQueue queue = queueClient.GetQueueReference(QueueName);
                queue.CreateIfNotExist();               
                  
                        CloudQueueMessage m = new CloudQueueMessage(MessageToAdd);
                        queue.AddMessage(m);
                   
                   
                    return true;
               

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

In this way you can add message to an azure queue. I hope this post was useful. Thanks for reading.
