Azure Service Bus Queue Count

Question

I have a service bus Q and from the Azure portal I can more or less see how many entries the service bus Q contains. How can I get this count using their management API? I have perused the docs but have been unsuccessful in finding an answer.

Answer 1

The QueueDescription has a property MessageCount: MSDN, Announcement (skip down to Message Count Details) This will allow access via .NET code

The Management API Documentation also shows this exposed: MSDN This will allow access via the Rest API

The PowerShell Cmdlets do not yet expose this functionality.
