Azure AppFabric Service Bus Explorer (with code)

Microsoft Developer Network - Samples - Service Bus Explorer

"Introduced in the September 2011, queues and topics represent the foundation of a new cloud-based messaging and integration infrastructure that provides reliable message queuing and durable publish/subscribe messaging capabilities to both cloud and on-premises applications based on Microsoft and non-Microsoft technologies. .NET applications can use the new functionality offered by queues and topics by using the new messaging API (Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging) released with the Windows Azure AppFabric SDK V1.5 or via WCF by using the new NetMessagingBinding. Likewise, any Microsoft or non-Microsoft applications can use a Service Bus REST API to manage and access messaging entities over HTTPS.

Queues and topics were first introduced by the Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Azure AppFabric that was released in May 2011. At that time, the Windows Azure Management Portal didn’t provide any user interface to administer, create and delete messaging entities and the only way to accomplish this task was using the .NET or REST API. For this reason, In June 2011 I decided to build a tool called Service Bus Explorer that would allow developers and system administrators to connect to a Service Bus namespace and administer its messaging entities.

During the last few months I continued to develop this tool and add new features with the intended goal to facilitate the development and administration of new Service Bus-enabled applications. In the meantime, the Windows Azure Management Portal introduced the ability for a user to create queues, topics, and subscriptions and define their properties, but not to define or display rules for an existing subscription. Besides, the Service Bus Explorer enables to accomplish functionalities, such as importing, exporting and testing entities, that are not currently provided by the Windows Azure Management Portal. For this reason, the Service Bus Explorer tool represents the perfect companion for the official Azure portal and it can also be used to explore the features (session-based correlation, configurable detection of duplicate messages, deferring messages, etc.) provided out-of-the-box by the Service Bus brokered messaging.

I haven't done anything yet with AppFabric and/or Azure queues, Service Bus, etc, but when/if I do I'm going to want to grab this project. Not only because it looks very useful in its compiled form, but because all the source is available. Learning by seeing and all that... :)
