Azure Service Bus - Unlock Message

See more Azure Service Bus Examples

Shows how to unlock a message for processing by other receivers on a specified queue or subscription. This operation deletes the lock object, causing the message to be unlocked.

  //  To unlock a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
  //  When the message was locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
  //  was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
  //  JSON such as the following:

  //  	{
  //  	  "DeliveryCount": 2,
  //  	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000003,
  //  	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",

  //  	  "LockToken": "0a13ee8a-be32-4458-89e0-5e1401caa6a0",
