Creating queues

Component: NServiceBus
NuGet Package: NServiceBus (9.x)
NServiceBus will automatically request the transport to create queues needed if the installers are enabled. This also includes queues needed by all declared satellites. Prefer using scripts to create custom queues instead of relying on interfaces provided by NServiceBus.

The scripting guidelines show how to take full control over queue creation:

Declaration

Queues should be declared during the Setup phase of a Feature.

A built-in example is the audit feature, which needs the audit queue. During start-up, NServiceBus ensures the declared queues are present and aborts the start-up procedure if they are not (with the exception of MSMQ remote queues, which are optional).

public class FeatureThatRequiresAQueue :
    Feature
{
    protected override void Setup(FeatureConfigurationContext context)
    {
        var queueBindings = context.Settings.Get<QueueBindings>();
        queueBindings.BindSending("someQueue");
    }
}

Creation

Queues are created only during installation.
