How to peek all messages in Azure Service Bus queue?

I'd like to peek all messages from several Azure Service Bus queues. After that I want to filter them after queueName, insertDate and give the opportunity to make a full text search on the body.
Currently, I'm using the Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus package to create a ManagementClient for gathering queue information and then use a MessageReceiver to peek the messages.
var managementClient = new ManagementClient(connectionString);
var queue = await managementClient.GetQueueRuntimeInfoAsync(queueName);
var count = queue.MessageCount;
var receiver = new MessageReceiver(connectionString, queueName);
var messagesOfQueue = new List<Message>();
for (var i = 1; i <= count; i++)
{
messagesOfQueue.Add(await receiver.PeekAsync());
}
Is there a better way to get all messages? Or is there even a way to only peek messages that apply to a filter?
I've also tried to use the QueueClient.PeekBatch Method from the WindowsAzure.ServiceBus package. But that method didn't return all messages although I've set the correct messageCount parameter.
And then there is also the package Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus... What's up with all these packages?
So which of the packages should I use and what is the best way for peeking messages of queues based on some filters?

The solution I'm currently using and which works as expected looks like this:
var receiver = serviceBusClient.CreateReceiver(queueName);
var messagesOfQueue = new List<ServiceBusReceivedMessage>();
var previousSequenceNumber = -1L;
var sequenceNumber = 0L;
do
{
var messageBatch = await receiver.PeekMessagesAsync(int.MaxValue, sequenceNumber);
if (messageBatch.Count > 0)
{
sequenceNumber = messageBatch[^1].SequenceNumber;
if (sequenceNumber == previousSequenceNumber)
break;
messagesOfQueue.AddRange(messageBatch);
previousSequenceNumber = sequenceNumber;
}
else
{
break;
}
} while (true);
It uses the nuget package Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus.

Currently you're receiving a single message from the receiver. A better option would be to receive messages in batch using PeekBatchAsync(Int64, Int32) method of MessageReceiver.
Here's the sample code to do so (untested though):
var messagesOfQueue = new List<Message>();
var sequenceNumber = 0;
var batchSize = 100;//number of messages to receive in a single call
do
{
var messages = await receiver.PeekBatchAsync(sequenceNumber, batchSize);
messagesOfQueue.AddRange(messages);
if (messages.Count > 0)
{
sequenceNumber = messages[messages.Count-1].SequenceNumber;
}
else
{
break;
}
} while (true);

The solution avoids getting the message with the same SequenceNumber twice.
Sequence numbers monotonically increase. And I've tested most cases except rolling over sequenceNumber to 0 when it reaches the maximum value (Long.MaxValue).
using Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus;
private static async Task<List<ServiceBusReceivedMessage>> PeekAllMessages(string serviceBusConnectionString, string queueName)
{
var client = new ServiceBusClient(serviceBusConnectionString);
var receiver = client.CreateReceiver(queueName);
var messages = new List<ServiceBusReceivedMessage>();
var batchSize = 20;
var sequenceNumber = 0L;
do
{
var messageBatch = await receiver.PeekMessagesAsync(batchSize, sequenceNumber);
if (messageBatch.Count <= 0)
{
break;
}
// Increasing the SequenceNumber by 1 to avoid getting the message with the same SequenceNumber twice
sequenceNumber = messageBatch[^1].SequenceNumber + 1;
messages.AddRange(messageBatch);
} while (true);
return messages;
}

How to call a AVPlayer in XAMARIN iOS during notification instead of 30 second max duration notification sound?

I need to play a audio file which is 3 minutes length. But default notification sound does not play more than 30 seconds. So my idea is Calling a Avplayer
which will play my desired audio. But i do not know how to call this. Can any one please help me. I will be very grateful.
I am attaching my notification method here.
public void AVPlayer()
{
NSUrl songURL;
if (!MusicOn) return;
//Song url from your local Resource
songURL = new NSUrl("azan.wav");
NSError err;
player = new AVAudioPlayer(songURL, "Song", out err);
player.Volume = MusicVolume;
player.FinishedPlaying += delegate {
// backgroundMusic.Dispose();
player = null;
};
//Background Music play
player.Play();
}
public void CreateRequest(JamatTime jamat)
{
// Create action
var actionID = "pause";
var title = "PAUSE";
var action = UNNotificationAction.FromIdentifier(actionID, title, UNNotificationActionOptions.None);
// Create category
var categoryID = "message";
var actions = new UNNotificationAction[] { action };
var intentIDs = new string[] { };
var categoryOptions = new UNNotificationCategoryOptions[] { };
var category = UNNotificationCategory.FromIdentifier(categoryID, actions, intentIDs, UNNotificationCategoryOptions.None);
// Register category
var categories = new UNNotificationCategory[] { category };
UNUserNotificationCenter.Current.SetNotificationCategories(new NSSet<UNNotificationCategory>(categories));
// Rebuild notification
var content = new UNMutableNotificationContent();
content.Title = " Jamat Time alert";
content.Badge = 1;
content.CategoryIdentifier = "message";`enter code here`
content.Sound = UNNotificationSound.GetSound("sample.wav");
var times = new string[] { jamat.Asr, jamat.Dhuhr, jamat.Faijr, jamat.Ishaa, jamat.Jumah, jamat.Maghib };
int id = 0;
foreach (var time in times)
{
var ndate = DateTime.ParseExact(time, "h:mm tt", null);
var date = new NSDateComponents()
{
Calendar = NSCalendar.CurrentCalendar,
Hour = ndate.Hour,
Minute = ndate.Minute,
Second = 0
};
content.UserInfo = new NSDictionary<NSString, NSString>(
new NSString[] {
(NSString)"time1",
(NSString)"time2"
},
new NSString[] {
(NSString)DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm tt"),
(NSString)time
});
var trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger.CreateTrigger(date, true);
// ID of Notification to be updated
var request = UNNotificationRequest.FromIdentifier(id++.ToString(), content, trigger);
// Add to system to modify existing Notification
UNUserNotificationCenter.Current.AddNotificationRequest(request, (err1) =>
{
if (err1 != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", err1);
}
Console.WriteLine($"Success: {request}");
});
}
}

You can't play an audio file instead of the UNNotificationSound.
There's no way to trigger the player's play method when the local notification comes. You could only configure the sound property using the code you post above. And the file should be embedded in the bundle resource.
It seems you are aware of UNNotificationSound: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/unnotificationsound?language=objc. But I still want to remind you of the file's format and length limitations.

Finally I have solved my problem.
When a notification fires then WillPresentNotification() method hits and I simply call the AVplayer there and perfectly working. If u want to play sound via UNNotificationSound then not possible because that is limited by 30 second duration..but problem this works only in foreground.

Executing multiple requests xrm sdk [duplicate]

I am using ExecuteMultipleResponse method to insert 10 account records at a time using SSIS.
List<Entity> _Accounts = new List<Entity>();
// Check the batch size and process
public override void InputAccount_ProcessInput(InputAccountBuffer Buffer)
{
//List<int> personIDs = new List<int>();
int index = 0;
while (Buffer.NextRow())
{
_Accounts.Add(InputAccountFromBuffer(Buffer));
//personIDs.Add(int.Parse(Buffer.sPersonID));
index++;
if (index == 10)
{
ImportBatch();
index = 0;
}
}
ImportBatch();
}
private void ImportBatch()
{
if (_Accounts.Count > 0)
{
var multipleRequest = new ExecuteMultipleRequest()
{
Settings = new ExecuteMultipleSettings()
{
ContinueOnError = true,
ReturnResponses = true
},
Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
};
foreach (var profContact in _Accounts)
{
CreateRequest reqCreate = new CreateRequest();
reqCreate.Target = profContact;
reqCreate.Parameters.Add("SuppressDuplicateDetection", false);
multipleRequest.Requests.Add(reqCreate);
}
ExecuteMultipleResponse multipleResponses = (ExecuteMultipleResponse)organizationservice.Execute(multipleRequest);
var responses = (ExecuteMultipleResponseItemCollection)multipleResponses.Results["Responses"];
foreach (var response in responses)
{
if (response.Fault != null)
{
// A fault has occurred, handle it here
}
else
{
// THIS IS WHERE I KNOW THE GUID VALUE EXIST.
}
}
//IEnumerator f = multipleResponses.Responses.GetEnumerator();
_Accounts.Clear();
}
}
Above code is working fine, however, I now need to read and store Guids from response to a List. This information is essential for the next step in the package. I know, if I am creating single record I can simply say,
Guid newRecord = _service.Create(account);
I even managed to get down to check if the response have 'Fault' or not and if it doesn't have fault then Guid value should exist in the response.
Running response.Response.Results.Values in QuickWatch shows me the guid but I just can't find a way to read it directly and store it as a Guid.

The guid of a created record should be stored in the OrganizationResponse which can be found inside the ExecuteMultipleResponseItem
Try the following to get the guid as a string:
string id = response.Response.Results["id"].ToString()
If it works as expected you should also be able to instantiate a guid, if needed:
Guid guid = new Guid(id);

CRM Dynamics 2013 SDK Update Current Accounts With 2 Values

I have a scenario in CRM where I need to update existing accounts with their Vat and Registration number. There is well over 30 thousand accounts in the system. I am trying to update using the CRM SDK API but I am battling to figure out how to perform the actual update. The vat number and reg have been provided to me in a spreadsheet with their corresponding number, please note that the accounts are already in CRM so I just need to update the correct account with its Vat and Reg number, How can I do this in CRM, please advice on my code below:
public static void UpdateAllCRMAccountsWithVATAndRegistrationNumber(IOrganizationService service)
{
QueryExpression qe = new QueryExpression();
qe.EntityName = "account";
qe.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("account", "new_vatno", "new_registrationnumber");
qe.Criteria.AddCondition("accountnumber", ConditionOperator.In,"TA10024846", "TA10028471", "TA20014015", "TA4011652", "TA4011557");
EntityCollection response = service.RetrieveMultiple(qe);
foreach (var acc in response.Entities)
{
acc.Attributes["new_vatno"] = //this is where I am struggling to figure out how I am gong to match the records up,
acc.Attributes["new_registrationnumber"] = //this is where I am struggling to figure out how I am gong to match the records up,
service.Update(acc);
}
}
How am I going to ensure that I update the correct records. I have the vat and reg numbers for the accounts in a spreadsheet, please see example image below. Can I please get advised here. Thanks.

I would load the list of VAT updates from the spreadsheet into a dictionary and then load the 30k record from CRM into memory. Then I would match them up and use ExecuteMultipleRequest to do the updates. Alternatively, you could query CRM using the account numbers (if the list is small enough.) I made the assumption you had thousands of updates to do across the record set of 30k. Note, if the Account record size was very large and couldn't be loaded into memory you would need to do account number queries.
Here is the rough code for the basic solution (I haven't tested, method should be split up, and there is minimal error handling):
public class VatInfo
{
public string RegistrationNumber;
public string TaxNumber;
public static Dictionary<string, VatInfo> GetVatList()
{
//TODO: Implement logic to load CSV file into a list. Dictionary key value should be Account Number
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
public class UpdateVatDemo
{
public const int maxBatchSize = 100;
public static void RunVatUpdate(IOrganizationService conn)
{
var vats = VatInfo.GetVatList();
var pagingQuery = new QueryExpression("account");
pagingQuery.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("accountnumber");
Queue<Entity> allEnts = new Queue<Entity>();
while (true)
{
var results = conn.RetrieveMultiple(pagingQuery);
if (results.Entities != null && results.Entities.Any())
results.Entities.ToList().ForEach(allEnts.Enqueue);
if (!results.MoreRecords) break;
pagingQuery.PageInfo.PageNumber++;
pagingQuery.PageInfo.PagingCookie = results.PagingCookie;
}
ExecuteMultipleRequest emr = null;
while (allEnts.Any())
{
if (emr == null)
emr = new ExecuteMultipleRequest()
{
Settings = new ExecuteMultipleSettings()
{
ContinueOnError = true,
ReturnResponses = true
},
Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
};
var ent = allEnts.Dequeue();
if (vats.ContainsKey(ent.GetAttributeValue<string>("accountnumber")))
{
var newEnt = new Entity("account", ent.Id);
newEnt.Attributes.Add("new_vatno", vats[ent.GetAttributeValue<string>("accountnumber")].TaxNumber);
newEnt.Attributes.Add("new_registrationnumber", vats[ent.GetAttributeValue<string>("accountnumber")].RegistrationNumber);
emr.Requests.Add(new UpdateRequest() { Target = newEnt });
}
if (emr.Requests.Count >= maxBatchSize)
{
try
{
var emResponse = (ExecuteMultipleResponse) conn.Execute(emr);
foreach (
var responseItem in emResponse.Responses.Where(responseItem => responseItem.Fault != null))
DisplayFault(emr.Requests[responseItem.RequestIndex],
responseItem.RequestIndex, responseItem.Fault);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Exception during ExecuteMultiple: {ex.Message}");
throw;
}
emr = null;
}
}
}
private static void DisplayFault(OrganizationRequest organizationRequest, int count,
OrganizationServiceFault organizationServiceFault)
{
Console.WriteLine(
"A fault occurred when processing {1} request, at index {0} in the request collection with a fault message: {2}",
count + 1,
organizationRequest.RequestName,
organizationServiceFault.Message);
}
}

Updating the fetched entity is bound to fail because of its entity state, which would not be null.
To update the fetched entities, you need to new up the entity:
foreach (var acc in response.Entities)
{
var updateAccount = new Entity("account") { Id = acc.Id };
updateAccount .Attributes["new_vatno"] = null; //using null as an example.
updateAccount .Attributes["new_registrationnumber"] = null;
service.Update(acc);
}

Code below shows how I managed to get it righy. forst let me explain. I imported my records into a seperate SQL table, in my code I read that table into a list in memory, I then query CRM accounts that need to be updated, I then loop though each account and check if the account number in CRM matches the account number from my sql database, if it matches, I then update the relevant Reg no and Vat no, See code below:
List<Sheet1_> crmAccountList = new List<Sheet1_>();
//var crmAccount = db.Sheet1_.Select(x => x).ToList().Take(2);
var crmAccounts = db.Sheet1_.Select(x => x).ToList();
foreach (var dbAccount in crmAccounts)
{
CRMDataObject modelObject = new CRMDataObject()
{
ID = dbAccount.ID,
Account_No = dbAccount.Account_No,
Tax_No = dbAccount.Tax_No.ToString(),
Reg_No = dbAccount.Reg_No
//Tarsus_Country = dbAccount.Main_Phone
};
}
var officialDatabaseList = crmAccounts;
foreach (var crmAcc in officialDatabaseList)
{
QueryExpression qe = new QueryExpression();
qe.EntityName = "account";
qe.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("accountnumber", "new_vatno", "new_registrationnumber");
qe.Criteria.AddCondition("accountnumber", ConditionOperator.In,'list of account numbers go here'
EntityCollection response = service.RetrieveMultiple(qe);
foreach (var acc in response.Entities)
{
if (crmAcc.Account_No == acc.Attributes["accountnumber"].ToString())
{
//acc.Attributes["new_vatno"] = crmAcc.VAT_No.ToString();
acc.Attributes["new_registrationnumber"] = crmAcc.Reg_No.ToString();
service.Update(acc);
}
}
}
