This is a command line tool to help test service bus messages.

You will be able to do C U RD operations to topics/subscriptions and queues, you will also be able to send messages and subscribe to a specific queue/subscription

How to Use it

Once you have it compiled you can run it with the needed options

you can also run the following command to display the help

servicebus.exe --help

API Mode

The ServiceBus Client contains an API mode that gives the same functionality but using a REST api To start the client in API mode run the following command.

servicebus.exe api
