A higher-level interface to Amazon SQS for .NET. It features an object queue that serializes objects to JSON internally. Also included is a simple WPF app for observing queues and messages. Depends on the AWS SDK for .NET (included).
Create an instance of AmazonSqs.ObjectQueue:
AmazonSqs.ObjectQueue queue = new AmazonSqs.ObjectQueue(
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AWSAccessKey"], // Or your AWS access key
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AWSSecretKey"], // Or your AWS secret key
"MyQueue" // Any queue name
);
queue.Enqueue<List<string>>(new List<string>(new string[] { "Hello", "World", "Bro" }));
Serialized objects must be less than 256K in length. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing if a type is serializable unless you can successfully serialize and deserialize it. The only thing the library does is ensure your type is a reference type with a default constructor.
// Meanwhile in another place and at another time...
var mylist = queue.DequeueOne<List<string>>(); // Deletes message from queue!
// If you don't want to automatically delete the message you can peek it.
ObjectMessage<List<string>> msg = queue.Peek<List<string>>();
queue.DeleteMessage(msg.ReceiptHandle);
*If you want to run the tests, make a copy of App.config.sample and name it App.config. Add your AWS credentials to the example appSettings.
