40400: Endpoint not found - Windows Service Bus

Question

I am running on premise Windows Service Bus 1.0 and I am getting the exception MessaingEntityNotFoundException 40400: Endpoint not found.

Is this because the queue is not created? I cant see anywhere on the server where I can create queues (I'm using 2K8R2), when I run the Service Bus Configuration tool it only asks if I want to remove from the farm.

Do I need to add a queue, if so is there a gui or powershell script, or am I doing something else wrong?

Connection string in app.config

<appSettings>
    <!-- Service Bus specific app setings for messaging connections -->
    <add key="Microsoft.ServiceBus.ConnectionString" value="Endpoint=sb://sqldev1.domain.local/domaintest1;StsEndpoint=https://sqldev1.domain.local:9355/domain-test1;RuntimePort=9354;ManagementPort=9355" />
  </appSettings>

Code is below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.ServiceBus;
using Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace WindowsServerEventBus
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            MessagingFactory messageFactory = MessagingFactory.Create();
            NamespaceManager namespaceManager = NamespaceManager.Create();

            QueueClient myQueueClient = messageFactory.CreateQueueClient("WowWowWee");

            BrokeredMessage sendMessage = new BrokeredMessage("Hello World!");
            myQueueClient.Send(sendMessage);

            BrokeredMessage receivedMessage = myQueueClient.Receive(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
            if (receivedMessage != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Message received: Body = {0}",
                                    receivedMessage.GetBody<string>()));
                receivedMessage.Complete();
            }

            messageFactory.Close();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

If you are using NimbusAPI which creates Azure service bus topics automatically, a topic that is not subscribed to by is automatically deleted after 367 days because it is idle. To resolve this, restart the service, and it should restore any missing topics.

Answer 2

You can create the queue in your code by using the NameSpaceManager.

namespaceManager.CreateQueue("WowWowWee");
